Shortly after Oklahoma dispatched Baylor 7-0 on Friday night in Waco, the Sooners got a weather update and some new marching orders.

The No. 1-ranked Sooners and No. 19 Bears' three-game series has been condensed to just two days.

Saturday, they'll play a doubleheader at Baylor's Getterman Field, with Game 1 beginning at 2 p.m and Game 2 starting 30 minutes after the final out.

It's the second straight weekend OU has had a series disrupted by weather. Last week in Oxford, OH, impending bad weather canceled the Sooners' Sunday game, reducing their three-game schedule at the Miami Invitational to just two games.

Both of Saturday's games will be carried on radio by 107.7 The Franchise and will be broadcast on TV by ESPN+.
