Well, it’s the other SEC school from Mississippi versus yet another Big XII school about to join the SEC.

I mean... okay. There’s no real outcome for us to root for, but it’s still college baseball. In events like this, it’s best to root for entertainment.

On the Mound

*Note: Pitching matchups and lineups were guided by this media guide put out by Ole Piss and this Boomer Sooner game notes. Coaches may well change their mind, and, if so, I’ll update in the comments.

Saturday @ 6:00pm CT on ESPN

#39 Ole Piss So. RHP Jack “Dough Boy” Dougherty (3-3; 5.08 ERA)

vs. #54 Boomer Sooner RS So. LHP Jake “Mags” Bennett (10-3; 3.66 ERA)

With Ole Piss Ace Dylan “Double D” DeLucia likely not able to pitch until Game 3 (if necessary), Boomer Sooner has the advantage on the mound. Bennett is not only the OU ace, but is likely to be drafted in the top 3-4 rounds in the upcoming MLB Draft. He’s no Cooper “Hjerpes” Hjerpe in terms of staff aces, but still, Boomer Sooner will have the advantage on the mound.
