DALLAS, Texas -- Jordan John suffered his second loss of the season as the No. 17 Sooners gave up four runs in the bottom of the ninth in a 7-6 decision at Dallas Baptist Tuesday night.

The loss dropped OU to 11-6 overall while Dallas Baptist won its third straight win over the Sooners and improved to 10-6 on the season.

"We are not finishing games," said OU Head Coach Sunny Golloway. "The message to the team afterwards was we have to execute. We are not playing well right now and we have to start getting things fixed as fast as we can."

John (3-2) entered the game in the eighth inning and ended a Patriot threat with a fly ball to right that was caught by a diving Cody Reine to preserve a 4-3 lead. In the Sooners at bat in the ninth, Max White drove in his team-leading 17th RBI of the season and OU added another insurance run off DBU's second error of the game for a 6-3 lead.

However, John gave up four singles and three walks (one intentional) as DBU rallied for the 7-6 win. Aaron Gilbreath (1-2) was credited with the win after a spotless 2/3 of an inning.

The Sooners struck first on Jack Mayfield's first home run of the season (second of career) on a blast over the 15-foot wall in left field.

The 1-0 lead in the top of the third was quickly extinguished as DBU countered with a three-run homer to left off the bat of Boomer Collins. OU starter Jacob Rhame would face one more batter before being pulled in favor of Steven Bruce after 2 1/3 innings.

The Sooners also chased DBU's starter early as Andrew Elkins tossed 4 1/3 innings and tacked on two runs in the fifth to tie the game at three apiece. Max White brought in the first run on a sacrifice fly and an additional run scored on a Dallas Baptist error allowing Erik Ross to score from second.

White extended his hitting streak to 10 games earlier in the third inning off a double and later added a single in the seventh inning when OU regained a one-run lead off Evan Mistich's two-out RBI double to right field.

The midweek game is followed up by the start of Big 12 play as Texas travels to Norman for a three-game set over the weekend.

Friday’s opener is set for 6:30 p.m. at L. Dale Mitchell Park. Game two is set for 2 p.m. on Saturday and the finale gets underway at 1 p.m. All three games against Texas will be televised by the Sooner Sports Network on Cox Ch. 3/703 HD in Oklahoma City and Tulsa.
