After Oklahoma jumped out to am early 3-0 lead, Georgia Tech (50-10) scored seven unanswered runs to take a 7-3 lead. But Oklahoma rallied back with five runs over the final four innings for the win.

The Sooners plated three in the bottom of the first, but Drew Burress began Tech’s comeback, sending his 60th career home run 418-feet to deep center field, also scoring Carson Kerce, who had reached on a walk, to trim the lead to 3-2 in the top of the third.

In front of an electric crowd, Parker Brosius launched his 10th home run since May 8, and fourth of the regional, to tie the game at 3 to open the fifth. Seconds after Brosius entered the dugout, the Yellow Jackets took their first lead of the game when Caleb Daniel launched a solo shot to right field, putting Tech in front, 4-3.

Tech added to its lead, plating three more in the sixth inning and capitalizing on a timely throwing error from the Sooners. With runners on first and third with one out, Brosius grounded out to first, but Dayton Tockey looked for a double play and threw it into the outfield, scoring Alex Hernandez and moving Kent Schmidt to third on the play. A pair of RBI singles followed from Daniel and Kerce to extend Tech’s lead to 7-3.

Mason Patel threw five scoreless innings out of the bullpen before Oklahoma got two across in the seventh, setting a 7-5 score entering the eighth. The Sooners made it a one-run game in the eighth, scoring on a fielding error, but Dylan Loy came in with runners on first and second and one out and forced Jason Walk into a line drive to Kerce, who turned it into a double play at second to end the inning.

Oklahoma tied the game in the bottom of the ninth on an RBI single, forcing extra innings and took the win on a solo home run from Tockey in the 10th.
