The NCAA baseball season is over for all of our Division 1 state teams after Sunday. Oklahoma State never seemed to recover from the loss of pitcher Andrew Oliver to an eligibility issue despite forcing another game with Wichita St. The Cowboys lost to the Shockers 11-7 in ten innings on a grand slam by former Cowboy walk-on Clint McKeever. Oklahoma beat Vanderbilt Sunday in the Tempa regional and advanced to play Arizona St. again. It didn't go well, the Sooners were shut out 12-0 to end their season. ORU pulled out an 8-0 win over host Nebraska to stay alive in the Lincoln regional. But the Golden Eagles are through as well after their 8-0 loss to Cal-Irvine. Arkansas is finished after the Hogs lost 5-1 to Stanford. See the entire NCAA bracket and stay tuned to KRMG for updates.

The Tulsa Talons take their unbeaten record into the second half of the AF2 season as they hit the road to take on Bossier-Shreveport. The Talons remain #1 in the coaches poll, a place they have occupied all season but will more than likely face their greatest challenge when they face the Battlewings. The game is at 7:00 Saturday night with the pre-game at 6:30 on Newstalk 740, KRMG.

The Owasso Rams are in the 6A baseball finals so often, they might as well just leave the name on the dugout. Owasso made their 11th finals trip in the last 12 years and won their seventh title with a 5-2 win over Moore Tuesday night in Norman. The Rams didn't make it easy on themselves with four turnovers but Brian Flynn allowed just two runs over six innings to help get the win.

The Rams aren't the only team to bring home a big trophy. Bixby endured a three hour rain delay and then a bus ride before beating Chickasha 2-0 to win the 5A title. The Spartans and Fighting Chicks were about to get underway in Shawnee when the rain started. After the long delay, OSSAA officials decided to load everyone up and head to Norman to play. The teams began just before 10:00 p.m. and the Spartans Ryan Furlong threw a complete-game, four-hit shutout. It's the first baseball title for Bixby in 30 year!
