The Sooners, the No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tallahassee Regional, one day ago were one win away from advancing to next weekend’s Super Regionals. So close, yet so far, as they say
Oklahoma was unable to close the deal, losing in back-to-back blowout to Mississippi State, the same team Oklahoma put away by a 10-run margin in Friday’s opening round of the Tallahassee Regional.
The Sooners followed up their 13-5 beatdown by Mississippi State on Sunday with another yawner against the same team on Monday, in a game with even higher stakes. The No. 2-seeded Bulldogs won two of three from Oklahoma, handing the Sooners an 8-1 drubbing on Monday afternoon, to capture the Tallahassee Regional and advance to the round of 16, otherwise known as the Super Regionals.
