It was pretty apparent who this game meant more two as the No. 7-seeded Oklahoma baseball team posted a 9-4 victory over in-state rival Olklahoms State in the opening round of the Big 12 Baseball Championship.
The Sooners (31-24, 11-13) fighting for their NCAA Tournament lives, struck early and often, opening with a three-run first inning, one in the second and another three-spot in the third to take a commanding 7-3 lead after three innings.
Six different Sooners drove in runs in the game, but the biggest differentiator was 12 free passes issued by four Oklahoma State pitchers.
