Oklahoma beats Auburn to tie series
Oklahoma pitching limited Auburn to just five hits in Saturday's win.
No. 13 Oklahoma bounced back from a Game 1 loss to No. 9 Auburn with a 2-1 win over the Tigers on Saturday.
Sooners pitcher Cam Johnson was, as the phrase goes, effectively wild against the Auburn lineup. They couldn't square him up when he was in the zone. Johnson picked up the win after going 5 2/3 innings (113 pitches) while giving up just three hits and striking out four.
He also walked four. Auburn went just 1 for 16 with runners on-base. Meanwhile, Oklahoma had its own problems against Tigers' pitching.
A sacrifice fly scored the team's first run in the second inning. Deitan LaChance then hit an RBI single in the fifth to make it 2-0. The way Johnson was going, it was enough.
