TCU Blanks Oklahoma 1-0

After winning eight straight games over TCU, the Oklahoma Sooners have now lost the last two thanks to a 1-0 shutout of OU on its home field Monday night.

TCU starter Brandon Finnegan held the Sooners scoreless until the bottom of the seventh when he gave up a single to OU's Caleb Bushyhead. Justin Scharf came in relief of Finnegan who dealt seven innings allowing just one hit while striking out seven.

The lone run of the game was scored by TCU in the top of the first. Josh Elander, the second batter of the game, reached on an error by the Sooners, then Jason coats connected on an RBI double to score Elander and give the Horned Frogs a 1-0 advantage they would hold on to the remainder of the game.

Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the game was opinions of the strikezone.

OU head coach Sunny Golloway disagree with umpire Travis Olson's calls from the beginning of the game and voiced his opinions throughout the contest. Finally in the eighth, Golloway got heated at Olson and was eventually thrown out of the game for arguing with the umpire.

The Sooners tried their best for a comeback in the eighth and ninth, registering a total of three hits, but they stranded two in the eighth and failed to score either base runner in the ninth en route to the loss.

Dillon Overton went the distance for Oklahoma pitching all nine innings on the mound allowing six hits and one run while striking out seven.

The loss moves OU to 33-20 on the season while TCU is now 33-16.

The Sooners return to action this weekend against Samford in the final series of the regular season. Game one is set for Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in Norman.
