Walk is good

Transcript Staff The Norman Transcript

Norman — Keilani Ricketts drew a bases loaded walk and No. 11 Oklahoma finally dispatched Nevada 8-7 Friday night.

The Sooners, who moved to 13-2 on the season, meet Bedlam rival Oklahoma State and Louisville beginning at 3 p.m. today at Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City.

Haley Nix led the Sooners, going 3 for 5 at the plate, including a seventh-inning solo home run that sent the game into extra innings. A double from Jessical Shults, a base hit from Nix and an intentional walk to Lindsey Vandever set the stage for Ricketts’ walk.
