The Sooners fell to Dallas Baptist, 9-3, on Sunday evening, marking the team's third loss in four days in the Frisco College Baseball Classic.

For the second-straight evening, Oklahoma surrendered runs in each of the first three frames. While able to counter with 14 unanswered to end Saturday's 16-6 victory against Missouri, the offense struggled down the stretch Sunday. OU went four straight innings without getting a runner past first base.

The Sooners finally cut into the 9-0 deficit in the seventh with three runs that came from a pair of bases loaded walks and a wild pitch. One particular bright spot that carried over from Saturday night's win was a few scoreless frames from the bullpen. Redshirt senior Luke Taggart, redshirt freshman Javier Ramos and redshirt senior Jason Ruffcorn combined for four shutout innings.

OU will have just one day off before meeting UT Arlington at 6:30 p.m. on March 9 in Norman. The Sooners, now 5-6 on the season, beat the Mavericks 7-1 on Feb. 24.
