Big 12 Baseball Weekend Six-Pack: Sweeps Everywhere

But thanks to a sac-fly and a wild pitch in the bottom of the second, Cincinnati recaptured the lead.

The Knights tied it right back up with a solo blast Andrew Williamson in the third.

UCF extended their lead thanks to a two-run shot by Antonio Jimenez to make it 5-3.

But once again, a wild pitch gave Cincinnati another run before Kerrington Cross brought in the tying score.

It turned out nine innings wouldn’t be enough because this one went into extras. There, UCF scored a run in the top of the tenth inning, but Cincinnati had the last laugh when Landyn Vidourek came up with the game-winning clutch hit.

With the win, the Bearcats were able to clinch the series on Saturday.

Best Win

Kansas

As you will see in my Big 12 baseball power rankings, I am extremely high on the Jayhawks this season. They have been extremely impressive so far this year, and they just swept Oklahoma State this past weekend they outscoring the Cowboys 28 to 14 in three games.

Worst Loss

Oklahoma State

If you look at the Big 12 baseball standing, you will find Oklahoma State dead last with a 1-6 record after being swept by Kansas this past weekend. The Cowboys were the favorites to win the Big 12 coming into the season, and their series against Kansas has summed up their season so far.

Weekend MVP

West Virginia LF Jace Rinehart

Jace had a monster weekend against BYU where he finished with eight RBIs which included his three-run home run in the rubber match against the Cougars.

Pitcher of the Weekend

Kansas RHP Dominic Voegele

There’s a reason Dominic Voegele was named preseason Big 12 pitcher of the year, and we saw that on Friday night. Against a powerful Oklahoma State offense, Dominic went eight innings and allowed just two runs and three hits. He also struck out ten batters during his time on the mound.

Best Home Run

Kansas SS Sawyer Smith

When Kansas was down by a pair of runs in extra innings, Sawyer Smith was the hero the Jayhawks needed. Smith hit a three-run walk off blast to not only win the game but secure the series against Oklahoma State.
