Georgia Tech at Oklahoma
NORMAN, Okla. (Interstat) — Top-seeded Georgia Tech (48-9) looks to complete a two-game sweep Sunday when the Yellow Jackets face Oklahoma (33-22) at L. Dale Mitchell Park.
Georgia Tech enters the finale of the weekend series riding a nine-game winning streak, having outscored opponents 130-36 over that span. The Yellow Jackets have scored at least nine runs in each of those victories, including a 9-3 win Saturday night in the series opener.
The offensive surge has been fueled by left fielder Parker Brosius, who went 2-for-3 with two home runs and four RBIs in Saturday’s victory. The performance extended a torrid stretch for Brosius: He has homered in four of his past five games and driven in 11 runs in his last three. In 11 games dating to May 10, Brosius is batting .389 (14-for-36) with six homers and 24 RBIs.
Brosius also homered in Georgia Tech’s 22-5 win over Illinois-Chicago on Friday and drove in five runs in a 14-1 rout of Duke on May 10.
Georgia Tech will send right-hander Tate McKee to the mound. McKee earned the win Saturday, allowing two earned runs on five hits over six innings while striking out eight.
Oklahoma will counter with right-hander Xander Mercurius (5-4, 4.91 ERA). Mercurius allowed five earned runs on no hits in 5 2/3 innings Saturday, walking eight and striking out eight. The Sooners’ bullpen has struggled recently, posting a 7.20 ERA over the past six games.
Oklahoma has lost four of its past six games. The Sooners dropped two of three at home to Tennessee earlier this month and lost 6-2 to LSU on May 19.
Georgia Tech’s offense has been prolific throughout the season. The Yellow Jackets have scored at least 13 runs in six of their past seven games. During the current winning streak, Georgia Tech has scored in double figures eight times.
The Yellow Jackets are coming off a series sweep of Boston College, outscoring the Eagles 38-3. Georgia Tech also handled Duke, North Carolina and Miami during the stretch.
Oklahoma, meanwhile, is looking to avoid its first three-game losing streak of the season. The Sooners have not lost consecutive games since dropping back-to-back contests at Arkansas in early May.
Georgia Tech leads the all-time series 12-7. The teams have not met since 2019 before this weekend.
First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m. CDT.
