OKLAHOMA CITY—Andrew Doyle pitched a complete-game five-hitter and struck out a career-high 12 batters as Oklahoma upset top-seeded Texas A&M 4-1 on Wednesday in pool play in the Big 12 Conference baseball tournament.
Oklahoma (33-23-1) was the eighth and final team to qualify for the tournament and had lost three regular-season games to Texas A&M (42-15). But the Aggies’ late-season struggles continued as they lost their seventh straight game.
Doyle, a sophomore who leads the Sooners in strikeouts with 70 this season, threw the first complete game of his career. Doyle (8-4) and didn’t allow a runner past second base after Texas A&M scored its lone run in the third inning on a home run by Kevin Gonzalez.
Oklahoma broke a 1-1 tie with a 3-run sixth-inning outburst keyed by Aaron Baker, who drove in a run with a double to left-center field and eventually scored.
Scott Migl (3-3) allowed six hits and four runs—all unearned—in six innings for the Aggies. Texas A&M is hoping a strong tournament showing will be enough to land a national No. 1 seed in the upcoming NCAA tournament.
