NORMAN — No. 9 Oklahoma took the SEC opening weekend series over No. 22 Texas A&M with a 12-11 win on a windy Sunday afternoon at Kimrey Family Stadium.

The Sooners (17-3, 2-1) scored in six of eight trips to the plate, putting up two-plus runs in four innings. After serving a one-game suspension on Saturday, junior Jaxon Willits paced the team with four runs batted in on Sunday in a 2-for-4 performance with a double.

Oklahoma jumped out to a 6-0 lead through two innings before Texas A&M (16-3, 1-2) rallied to eventually tie the game in the eighth on a three-run double. OU responded in the home half of the eighth, scoring the go-ahead run on a bases-loaded walk drawn by Camden Johnson.

Johnson led OU at the plate with a 3-for-4 day and three RBIs, while Willits had a team-high four RBIs and finished the weekend 5-for-7 with seven runs batted in. Senior Trey Gambill hit his fourth home run of the season on a two-run shot in the third inning, finishing 2-for-4 with three RBIs.

OU starting LHP Cord Rager went three innings and struck out six while allowing four runs on five hits and one walk. Junior Jason Bodin earned his second win in relief on the weekend, hurling the final two innings and striking out one while allowing two runs on two hits. Senior Jackson Cleveland went 3.1 innings and struck out a season-high four.
