ORUTerry Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Very nice win. Especially holding the Tigers to 1 run. They are an offensive juggernaut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1983, ORU swept a 2-game series from Texas at Johnson Stadium, with future MLB stars Roger Clemons, Calvin Schiraldi, Mike Capel, Mike Brumley, etc. That Longhorns team went on to win the College World Series about a month later, finishing 66-14 for the year (crazy how many games used to be played per season back then). I'm hard-pressed, though, to recall ORU ever taking a series on the road from a top-10 ranked SEC team. That 2017 Alabama team that ORU swept in 3 games in Tuscaloosa was not ranked. Fantastic job today: great pitching, with timely (if not perfect) hitting and defense. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 ORU Baseball social media has been truly on-point this weekend, what with the "Tiger Kings" gloss on Friday, and now this shade thrown at the SEC brand slogan: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue82 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 The "piece de resistance" to the "stunner in Baton Rouge" is that it was a three-game weekend series with both teams at full strength and starting top-line pitchers. When Power Five teams lose a mid-week game to ORU, their fans (and media) will often discount the loss because they were "resting their stars for the important conference series next weekend" or that "ORU saves their best pitcher for the P5 mid-week games" (as if ORU doesn't care about winning its own conference???). No such chatter this weekend! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw this tweet and had to find this post OT..... "The rest of the story...." the time ORU almost broke one of the greatest pitchers of all time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
