The No. 15 baseball team swept the winless Houston Baptist Huskies Tuesday 10-1 and 6-0 in its day-night doubleheader at L. Dale Mitchell Park.
The sweep completed a homestand where the Sooners (15-3) went 8-0 and extended their home record to 12-0.
Senior pitcher C.J. Blue (2-0) bested the Huskies (0-13) with his first career complete-game shutout, allowing six hits while striking out three.
Five OU hitters ended the second game with two hits each, including a solo blast by senior catcher J.T. Wise.
In game one, sophomore pitcher Michael Rocha (2-1) threw his second career complete game and allowed one run on five hits while striking out three. He set career highs by throwing 113 pitches, and seven strikeouts.
Wise, junior right fielder Kaleb Herren and freshman third baseman Garrett Buechele led the offensive charge for 10 runs after falling behind 1-0 after four innings.
Wise went 2-3 with a two-run homer and a double while driving in 3. Herren was perfect at the plate by going 3-3 with a double and one RBI. Buechele hit 3-4 with a double, triple and drove in two runs.
The Sooners head out to the USF Bulls Baseball Classic in Tampa, Fla., Friday, on a hot streak as they have won 10 of their last 11 games.
