Here is what Voice of the Sooners Toby Rowland had to say about the Sooners' pitching performance.
Talk with T-Row
“I think the thing that impressed me the most about OU’s pitching this weekend was how they dealt with runners on base. The Matadors repeatedly had men on base against them the entire series. They left over 30 men on base for the weekend. And yet time and time again the OU pitching staff kept getting out of sticky situations. To only allow four runs all weekend was pretty amazing."
What's next
The Sooners have a midweek matchup against Dallas Baptist on Tuesday, and then a three-game series against Sam Houston over the weekend at L Dale Mitchell Park.
