The No. 8 Texas Longhorns picked up the first Big 12 series win of the season in dramatic fashion by rallying from a major deficit in the 12-7 win over the Oklahoma Sooners on Sunday at Globe Life Field in Arlington.
After going down 7-1 thanks to a three-run home run by Oklahoma shortstop Peyton Graham in the sixth inning, Texas looked deep in the water after struggling against Oklahoma left-hander Chazz Martinez until scoring a run in the top of the inning. But the Longhorns used a relentless approach against a Sooners bullpen that didn’t have closer Trevin Michael available after his long outing on Saturday — Texas scored six runs in the seventh inning and five more runs in the ninth inning, taking the lead and holding on for a much-needed victory.
