UPDATING THE SOONERS With nine games under their belts, the Sooners are 7-2 and are coming off the season s biggest victory, a 2-1 triumph over then-no. 19 (Baseball America) Long Beach State at the Coca- Cola Classic in Houston, Texas. OU opened the tournament with host Rice, ranked No. 5, and suffered a 8-2 defeat on Friday. The Sooners were held to one hit in that contest until the eighth inning when they connected for three doubles and a single to plate two runs. The Sooners, behind Steven Guerra and 11 runs, rebounded on Saturday with an 11-4 victory over Lamar, a team that previously defeated OU, 21-9, on Feb. 5 at the UTPA Classic. Guerra put together his longest outing of the season, 6 2/3 innings, and struck out seven Cardinals (one shy of career high). Offensively, Joseph Hughes, who pitched a spotless 1 2/3 innings on Friday against Rice, fueled the Sooner offense in his first career start. Hughes went 3-for-5 with four RBI in the contest as the Sooners banged out double-digit hits (17) for the seventh time in In the finale of the Coca-Cola Classic, OU and Long Beach State battled in a classic baseball game that saw the Sooners edge the Dirtbags, 2-1, for the first time in three meetings. Solid pitching once again led the way, this time from P.J. Sandoval and John Brownell, and Joseph Hughes (2-for-4, run) continued his surge from Saturday and prevented a potential game-tying run from scoring on a throw from center. OU LINEUP: 1.

The Sooners will then travel to Texas Christian for a midweek game on Tuesday, March 7 before returning home to host Centenary on March HUGHES COLLECTS BIG 12 WEEKLY HONOR Oklahoma junior Joseph Hughes, who pitches and roams the outfield for the Sooners, was named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Player of the Week on Tuesday in voting by a panel of media covering Big 12 baseball for games played Feb It is the first such honor for Hughes, who transferred to OU after a two-year stint at Grayson County College, and the first weekly honor by a Sooner in Hughes excelled in offense, defense and pitching as the Sooners finished 2-1 in the Rice Coca Cola Classic in Houston, Texas over the weekend. The newcomer hit.625, scored two runs, stole a base and connected for four RBI against Rice, Lamar and Long Beach State. Additionally, the McKinney, Texas native pitched 1 2/3 innings of spotless relief against then-no. 5 Rice in the tournament opener, striking out three Owls. SCORING EARLY AND OFTEN OU leads the Big 12 in runs scored with 83 and it has recorded over half of those tallies in the first four innings this season. The Sooners have crossed the plate 43 times in the first four innings, including 15 times in the fourth frame alone. Additionally, OU has scored first in all but one of its games this season (Rice) and is 6-1 when it posts the game s first run, suffering its lone defeat against Lamar on Feb. 5. Listed on page 13 is a complete breakdown of the Sooners runs scored inning-by-inning. OFFENSIVE PRODUCTION Although early in the season, the 7-2 Sooners have proven that they are an offensive team. OU has recorded 10 or more hits in seven of its nine games (Rice and Long Beach State). Additionally, the Sooner offense has scored double-digit runs on four occasions this season (UTPA, WIU-twice and Lamar-Feb. 18). OU is averaging just under 10 runs a game (9.2) and 12.2 hits per game in Additionally, nine different Sooners are hitting.300 or better (minimum 12 at-bats) and seven sluggers have five or more RBI., including three with 10 (Caufield, Reza and Smith). GOING THE DISTANCE The Sooners offense has had the spotlight early in the season, but the starting rotation has been equally effective. Seniors Daniel McCutchen, Steven Guerra and P.J. Sandoval have started three games apiece so far in 2006 and have made each start last five innings or more on all but one occasion (2 1/3 innings for Sandoval on Feb. 5 vs. Lamar). Guerra has pitched six innings or more twice this season, while McCutchen and Sandoval both lasted six innings in one of their three starts. CONSISTENT STARTERS The Sooners have used numerous different starting lineups this season, featuring two or more players at every position except first base and right field. Chuckie Caufield has started all nine games in right field while Kevin Smith, a converted third baseman, has started every game at first base. Caufield, the Sooners leadoff hitter, is the only player to start every game at the same spot in the lineup. QUICK STARTS Since the formation of the Big 12 Conference in 1997, the Sooner baseball team has started off the season with a 7-2 record, or better, on five occasions including this season. OU began last season with an 8-2 start. Other 7-2 starts since 1997 include; 2004 (8-1), 2002 (8-2), 1999 (7-2) and 1998 (12-0). SMALL BALL The 2006 Sooners are proving to be a team that has options on offense. As the team leads the Big 12 in batting average (.354), runs (83), onbase percentage (.455) and RBI (77) this season, it has also shown that productive outs are as important as power. OU has shown its ability to be successful as a small-ball lineup that can bunt, run and advance runners. In addition to leading the conference in the power numbers listed above, the Sooners also lead the Big 12 in sacrifices (perfect 13- for-13) and they have executed four squeeze bunts, resulting in scoring four runs from third base. OU is also second in stolen bases (17). CHART CLIMBERS Senior hurlers Daniel McCutchen and Will Savage rank in the top ten on OU s career saves list. With two saves this season, Savage is tied at the No. 5 spot with former Sooner and current professional Geoff Geary (Philadelphia Phillies). Below is a look at where Savage and McCutchen rank all-time: Jeff Bajenaru ( ) Jarod McAuliff ( ) Bucky Buckles (1994) Scott Dean ( ) Geoff Geary ( ) 8 - Will Savage (2005-present) Daniel McCutchen (2004-present) DRAFT DODGERS The Sooners 2006 roster is filled with 12 current players that have been drafted by a Major League Baseball team at one point in their career. Daniel McCutchen, pictured right, has been drafted three times over the last four years. In addition to McCutchen (2005, 04 and 03) the other Sooners that have been taken in the draft include; John Brownell (2002), Brad Burns (2004), Chuckie Caufield (2003), Joe Dunigan (2004), Steven Guerra (2002), Nate Hammons (2005), Chris Henry (2004), Kody Kaiser (2004), Ryan Rohlinger (2005), P.J.
