He singled, stole second, was balked to third and scored on a wild pitch that did not get outside of the dirt area around home plate.  Crooks made it 6-3 in the fifth inning with a solo homer, then extended the lead to 8-3 with another homer in the seventh inning.  Both blasts cleared the seating in right field and increased Crooks&#8217; season total to seven.<\/p>\n<p><dfn>David Sandlin<\/dfn> (8-3) struck out six batters over 6.0 frames and turned it over to <dfn>Chazz Martinez<\/dfn> and <dfn>Trevin Michael<\/dfn> to close out the game.  Sandlin battled back to throw three scoreless frames after the Gators (40-23) hit two solo home runs in the second inning.  Michael pitched the final 2.1 innings, allowing only one hit and striking out one batter.<\/p>\n<p>Florida scored on solo home runs by Ty Evans and Jac Caglianone in the second inning, a sacrifice fly by Evans in the sixth and a solo home run by Mac Guscette in the seventh.  Starter Brandon Neely (3-3) took the loss.<\/p>\n<p>OU responded to the seventh-inning homer by adding another run in the eighth inning when Tredaway hit a two-out RBI single to bring home Pettis and reach the 9-4 final tally.<\/p>\n<p>The Sooners advance to the regional final, where they will meet either Florida or Central Michigan at 6 pm CT Sunday.  Oklahoma can advance to the Super Regional round with one win, while Florida or CMU must beat OU twice.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '532571424217817');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Story Links &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Next Game: vs. Florida 6\/5\/2022 | 6 pm CT ESPN + KREF 1400 AM \/ 99.3FM Jun. 05 (Sun) \/ 6 pm CT &#13; vs. Florida&#13; &#13; GAINESVILLE, Fla. &#8211; Jimmy Crooks homered twice, and Oklahoma baseball blasted four home runs on its &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/harchi90.com\/sooners-blast-into-regional-final\/\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Sooners Blast into Regional Final<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/d4sjo25z9q3iq.cloudfront.net\/images\/2022\/6\/4\/06042022_FLORIDA_CROOKS_CC_002_web.jpg?preset=large.socialmediaimage","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/harchi90.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38579"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/harchi90.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/harchi90.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harchi90.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harchi90.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38579"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/harchi90.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38579\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/harchi90.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harchi90.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harchi90.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
