Sooners make it eight straight

Transcript Staff The Norman Transcript

Norman — Eight straight wins.

That’s a feat that the Sooner baseball team accomplished Wednesday after a 9-1 victory over visiting Houston Baptist.

Oklahoma (13-1) has one more week of non-conference play before Big 12 play begins.

Max White had three extra base hits, including a two-run homer in the second inning to lead the Sooner offensive charge.

White and Ross Hubbard were the only Sooners to collect multiple hits Wednesday.

Michael Rocha (2-0) held the Huskies to one hit across five innings. Rocha did not walk a batter and struck out two.

OU hits the road this weekend for the Whataburger College Classic in Corpus Christi, Texas, where it will face Mississippi State, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and No. 10 UCLA.

All three games will be broadcast on KREF-AM 1400.
