OSU-OU: Bedlam Preview
By Tristan Threlkeld - May 04, 2007
Oklahoma State and Oklahoma will have a meeting on the diamond to try and stop losing streaks. I say streaks because both teams are coming into the series with a three-game and two-game losing streak respectively. The losing streak goes back a year for the Oklahoma Sooners who were swept last season by the Cowboys will also look to revenge those losses and would like to pick up some winning steam headed to the end of the regular season. The Sooners are currently in sixth place in the Big 12 with an 8-10 league record and 28-17 overall. The Cowboys come into the series after being swept last weekend by the Texas Longhorns, who might be the best team in the nation and if not they are the best team in the Big 12. The Cowboys are third in the Big 12 with a 10-8 league record and 31-13 overall. Luckily for the Cowboys they had final exams to take the mind off baseball for the week, which could pay dividends at the right time.
The weather coming into the series looked pretty bad, but the baseball gods must have noticed something about this series that nobody else has and cleared the skies for a beautiful weather for a great game to start the series off right.
Starting pithchers:
OSU will throw sophomore Jeff Breedlove for his third Friday start in a row. Breedlove threw a gem of a game last week against Texas in a losing effort. He comes into the game with a 3.16 ERA, 0-3 record.
OU will counter with sophomore Stephen Porlier, who picked up the win against the Kansas Jayhawks to improve his record to 6-4 and 3.12 ERA in his 11 game started.
