Oklahoma’s reward for its walk-off victory against Vanderbilt on Sunday afternoon is an evening rematch with the Arizona State squad that drilled the Sooners 15-3 on Saturday. With a victory, the Sun Devils will end the Tempe Regional and advance to the best-of-three super regional against the champion of the Long Beach (Calif.) Regional, either Fresno State or San Diego.
The lineups:
OKLAHOMA (36-25-1, No. 3 regional seed): RF Jamie Johnson, CF Aljay Davis, 2B Mike Gosse, LF Casey Johnson, 1B Aaron Baker, C J.T. Wise, DH Jarod Freeman, SS Bryant Hernandez, 3B Matt Harughty
The Sooners’ best remaining pitching option is right-hander Jeremy Erben (1-3, 6.16 ERA), a sophomore who has 16 appearances (nine starts) this year.
ARIZONA STATE (47-11, No. 1 regional seed): LF Ryan Sontag, CF Jason Kipnis, 3B Brett Wallace, 1B Ike Davis, C Petey Paramore, DH Kiel Roling, RF Matt Newman, 2B Raoul Torrez, SS Greg Bordes
Left-hander Josh Satow (8-3, 4.99 ERA) is the starting pitcher.
ANALYSIS: ASU coach Pat Murphy sends out the same lineup the engineered 15 runs, 15 hits and 10 walks against Oklahoma on Saturday.
