BlueGold Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Unfortunately, Pepe Gomez, our Sooner killer from last season, has moved on and won't be pitching tonight. In the 2 games he started against them, he shut them out both times and pitched like the real Cy Young did, and I should know, I've seen Cy Young pitch. Freshman Bryce Howe (Claremore, OK) is scheduled to make his first-ever collegiate start for us. OU is 12-6 this season. They've won 9 of their last 11. And yes, we need to erase the memory of last weekend's sweep by Dallas Baptist. I haven't reached panic mode yet but I'm struggling with our overall lack of success so far at just 6-7. The high expectations I've always had for the baseball program are not being met, and haven't been for the last 2 seasons plus this one.

ORUalum Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 5-1 good guys win!!! nice bounce back after the dreadful weekend vs DBU. great job from the pitching staff. (Howe, Teague, Hightower, McDavid, Sequeira, Garza, and Stout) Whatley with a big night at and behind the plate....3 RBI and 2 runners gunned down.

TrueBlue82 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Great win - takes some of the sting off of the DBU debacle. And, here's hoping that what DBU did unto us, we will do unto NDSU this weekend (isn't that biblical?). I was also glad to see the Sooner website with the headline of "Sooners host in-state rival ORU" this afternoon. I wish our "neighbors" at 11th and Harvard would take notes... And while I have no insider information, I would be shocked if Folmer was truly on the "hot seat" - sounds like the media stoking a fire that isn't burning. Besides, I think the Golden Eagles will be just fine this year. With 30 games against Summit opponents, a 20-8 (assuming some rain-outs) conference record is not unreasonable. Add that to a .500 non-conference record, and it would leave us with a 31-19 season heading into the Summit tourney as solid favorites.

ManiacAlum Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Clutch hitting and great pitching down the stretch. Garza gets into and out of trouble with a bases loaded SO in the 8th. Stout backward K's the entire OU side in the 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
