Longhorns will play for Big 12 title

College Baseball

OKLAHOMA CITY—David Hernandez singled in the winning run to cap a three-run ninth inning as Texas stunned Oklahoma 11-10 on Saturday to advance to the Big 12 Conference baseball championship game.

Jordan Danks and Kyle Russell walked and Brandon Belt had an RBI single to start the Longhorns’ rally. Russell scored on a two-out wild pitch to tie the game, and Hernandez followed with his single off Chase Anderson (5-4).

Oklahoma (34-24-1) charged back from a 6-1 deficit by scoring six runs in the seventh inning, highlighted by Jarod Freeman’s bases-loaded triple.

Texas (36-20) regained the lead on Travis Tucker’s RBI single in the eighth before the Sooners scored three runs on a fielder’s choice, a hit batsman and a bases-loaded walk to go up 10-8.

Keith Shinaberry (2-1) struck out J.T. Wise with the bases loaded to end Oklahoma’s ninth-inning push.



Texas A&M 6, Missouri 2

Big 12 player of the year Jose Duran hit a 3-run homer as Texas A&M (43-16) snapped an eight-game losing streak and prevented Missouri (38-19) from advancing to the title game.

Kyle Colligan hit a solo home run in the third inning and Duran added his three-run shot in the fifth as the top-seeded Aggies built a 5-0 lead.

Greg Folgia and Steve Gray had solo home runs to provide the only scoring for Missouri.

Barret Loux (5-2) gave up four hits and walked three in 6 1/3 scoreless innings for the Aggies. Missouri starter Ian Berger (4-5) allowed five runs on four hits and two walks in six innings.
