Pitching Matchup: Game 3 Edition

OU – TBA

Pitching Success Paves the Way on Friday:

“I thought we played great tonight across the board,” said Johnson. “We just played good baseball tonight; a great night by Josh Pearson and Chris Stanfield, he was outstanding tonight. So, a really complete performance, and I’m proud of our team.”

Right-hander Anthony Eyanson (5-0) earned the win in his longest SEC outing of the season on Friday night.

He worked 5.2 innings and limited the Sooners to two unearned runs on three hits with four walks and eight strikeouts.

Right-hander Casan Evans picked up his sixth save of the year, working the final 3.1 innings and allowing just two hits with no walks and five strikeouts.

“I thought Anthony got ahead more in the count as the game went along, and his ability to mix his pitches was excellent,” Johnson said. “A really, really good job by him tonight, and he keeps getting better.”
