Oklahoma Sooners Baseball | Two Freshmen Shine On The Diamond Against The ORU Golden Eagles

Pete Hughes is no stranger to playing youngster on the D-1 I level. Over the course of the season, the head coach has continuosly leaned on the young group. Tuesday was no different as a total of six freshmen earned starting roles while the team played a ten. One of those happened to be catcher Domenic DeRenzo.

The Sooners backed up their pitcher on the offensive side of the equation plating four runs in the first. A leader and major player on this squad, Sheldon Neuse  knocked in three runs through the first two innings. Then at the top of the third, DeRenzo teed off on a pitch sending it over the wall for a solo shot. However, the freshman wasn't done.

In the next inning, DeRenzo found himself at the plate once again, this time with the bases loaded. Clearly in a bit of a rhythm, the catcher drilled another homerun. The effort nettted DeRenzo a sixth homerun over the span of six games.

The win snaps a four game losing streak against the Golden Eagles and brings the Sooners record to 22-22-1.
