The two teams leaving the Big XII to head to greener pastures, the ES EE CE, were eliminated from the CWS series on Sunday. The Aggies even took it up a notch and were eliminated from their own host regional. The team to eliminate the Aggies? None other than future Big XII member and old Southwest Conference Rival, TCU. The Horned Frogs won 10-2. Missouri was ousted by Louisville at the Tuscon Regional, losing 11-3.

Baylor and Oklahoma both play Monday to determine if they are moving onto the Super Regionals. Sunday, Oklahoma had an up and down day. They went into extra innings with Army to pull out the 2-1 win. They played their regional host, Virginia Sunday night and won by one run, winning 5-4. They will play Appalachian State Monday, and need to beat them TWICE in order to advance. The first pitch is at 3:00 PM CST and if the Sooners win, they will play again at 7:00 PM.

Baylor also had an eventful Sunday. Baylor took on Oral Roberts, the team that beat the Bears in the opening game of the Waco Regional. The Bears pulled out the 5-2 win with the help of Tyler Bremer’s pitching. They took on Dallas Baptist next and continued their run with a 9-2 win. They will play Dallas Baptist on Monday and with a win, will advance to the Supers for the first time since 2005. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:30 PM CST.

The Big XII’s fate in the men’s College World Series rests on the Sooners and the Bears. Good Luck to both.

Caleb Bushyhead

The Sooners took on the Tigers Sunday in the Big XII Championship game, where the Tigers took home the Championship title. Missouri also just auto-qualified to the NCAA tournament, which starts next weekend.

The Sooners gave up four runs in the 1st, but put on their rally-hats for a comeback performance. They tied the game up going into the 7th, 7-7. The Sooners had runners on first and second with two outs in the bottom of the 9th when pinch hitter Chase Simpson singled through the right side of the infield. What looked like was going to be win, turned into Caleb Bushyhead being called out for interference after the ball hit his foot.

Coach Galloway postgame:

I thought it was a terrific game. A 7-2 deficit and we come back, pretty much exhaust our resources in the bullpen, and try to throw a little bit of everything at them. I thought when it was 7-7, it was going to take a special effort out of their dugout to win it and they did it. I guess the ball hit Caleb Bushyhead”s heel. No fault to him, he’s just digging hard trying to get to a bag.

Oklahoma had five players to make the all-tournament team with Jack Mayfield, Evan Mistich, Matt Oberste, Steven Okert, and Dillon Overton, tying the school baseball record set back in 1997. Oklahoma will find out if the post-season will continue on Monday during the College World Series selection show.
