Missouri jumped on OU for five runs in the bottom of the first, thanks especially to two Sooner infield errors. The big hits were a two-run single by Ryan Lollis, who’s only playing a because of an injury to Hunter Mense, and a two-out two-run single by nine-hole hitter JC Field, who is batting .206.

Meanwhile, Max Scherzer is looking filthy. Most of his fastballs are around 94 mph, but one registered 98 mph. The first seven Sooner hitters went back to their dugout, but the 8-9 hitters both touched him for singles, putting runners at the corners with one out. Scherzer responded by striking out the next two, giving him five in three innings.

Today, I’m sharing a booth with the Oklahoma broadcast team. Play-by-play man Chuck Kelly is a joy to listen to.

Here’s a rarity in college baseball: OU catcher Jackson Williams is calling the pitches on his own. He was given this responsibility in the middle of the Sooners’ 5/20 blowout loss to Nebraska. He kept doing it the next day, and Sooner pitcher Daniel McCutchen responded with a 6-2 win.
