Live Updates: No. 17 Vanderbilt at No. 19 Oklahoma, Game Two

Q: 6th Inning

T6: We're likely looking at Vanderbilt's first run-rule defeat this season. Kyson Witherspoon continues to shut down the Commodores at the plate with two groundouts and a fly out. Oklahoma 12, Vanderbilt 0

Q: 5th Inning

B5: Oklahoma continues to add on runs with one run scored. Vanderbilt successfully challenged a double play call at first base that took another run off the board. Oklahoma 12, Vanderbilt 0 T5: Kyson Witherspoon continues to shutdown the Commodores, recording two more strikeouts and a groundout. Oklahoma 11, Vanderbilt 0

Q: 3rd Inning

B3: It may be time to just go ahead and hit the panic button. Cody Bowker had recorded four-straight outs before giving up back-to-back walks that led to Dasan Harris hitting a RBI single to center field. Bowker recorded his fifth strikeout to end the inning, but damage was done. Oklahoma 4, Vanderbilt 0 T3: Mac Rose hits a leadoff single but is stranded after three-straight outs by the Sooners (one strikeout, two groundouts). Oklahoma 3, Vanderbilt 0

Q: 2nd Inning

B2: Bowker gets into more trouble with Oklahoma getting two hits that put runners at second and third base. But he got a strikeout and fly out (from Carmichael who hit first-inning homer). Oklahoma 3, Vanderbilt 0 T2: Another three up, three down inning for Vanderbilt at the plate and Witherspoon has his first strikeout of the game. After last night, the trend of this game is worrisome for the Commodores. Oklahoma 3, Vanderbilt 0

Q: 1st Inning

B1: Another troubling start for Vanderbilt on the mound. Cody Bowker's first pitch hits Jason Walk and Trey Gambill hits a double to put runners in scoring position without any outs recorded. Easton Carmichael follows up with a full-count, three-run home run to left center field. Still no outs recorded. Bowker was able to settle down after one more walk. He got a fly out for the first out and then struck out tw0 batters in a row to end the inning. Oklahoma 3, Vanderbilt 0 T1: Kyson Witherspoon needed just eight pitches to get through the first half inning. All three outs were balls hit into the field of play, though. The Commodores are making contact early on, which is a good sign (or at least better than if they were striking out). Oklahoma 0, Vanderbilt 0

No. 17 Vanderbilt saw its five-game win streak come to an end Friday night while No. 19 Oklahoma ended its four game losing streak. But the Commodores have a chance less than 24 hours later to bounce back and postpone a series winner for one more day.

4th Inning

B4: Seiber strikes out the first batter he faced, but gave up a walks to the next two batters, hit two batters and gave up bases-loaded RBI ground out. Seiber would be replaced by Bryan, who gives up a two run single to Harris and Dawson Willis hit a three-run home run to give Oklahoma a huge lead. Oklahoma 11, Vanderbilt 0

Vanderbilt relieves Bowker with Brennan Seiber to start the bottom half of the fourth inning.
