AUSTIN, Texas -- The No. 10 Sooners had their chances against Texas ace Taylor Jungmann (10-0), but stranded runners early in a 5-0 loss against No. 4 Longhorns in front of 7,339 fans at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.

Senior Michael Rocha (8-2) dropped his second game of the year despite tossing the fifth complete game of his career (fourth in 2011).  Rocha surrendered a season-high four unearned runs, while Jungmann tossed his third complete game of 2011 and struck out nine batters.

The Sooners loaded the bases in the top of the third, but were unable to bring home the game's first run. One inning later, Texas took a 1-0 lead Paul Montalbano's double to the gap in left center. 

Oklahoma battled back in the fifth with runners on second and third with one out, but again Jungmann worked out of the jam.

"We had those opportunities right there to score and we just squandered those by not even making contact," said OU Head Coach Sunny Golloway.  "I thought the game seemed easy to him (Jungmann) after that.  So when you get an opportunity against an arm like that, that's undefeated, you better take advantage. And we didn't."

Once again, after Jungmann held OU's offense at bay, the Texas bats came back with a triple and a sacrifice squeeze with two outs in the fifth, good for a 2-0 lead.

In the bottom of the sixth, the Longhorns pushed their lead to 4-0 and, in the seventh, Brandon Loy hit Texas' eighth homer of the year for the five-run lead.

The Sooner offense only had four hits on the night and suffered its third shutout of the year.  Erik Ross, Evan Mistich, Cameron Seitzer and Cody Reine each had a base knock on Friday night.

The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for Oklahoma, which fell to 30-12 overall and 9-8 in Big 12 play.  Texas won its ninth straight series opener over the Sooners and improved to 32-10 and 14-5.

Game two on Saturday is set for a national television broadcast on Fox Sports Southwest at 11:30 a.m. The game can be heard on the Sooner Sports Network, KREF 1400 AM with Chuck Kelly and Ross Hubbard.
