No. 22 Mississippi State 5, Oklahoma 5

The Mississippi State/Oklahoma game ended in a 5-5 tie due to travel schedules, however this game will provide vastly different momentum for each of these two clubs. John Cohen's Bulldogs will clearly leave Southern California frustrated since this was a game they controlled early. In fact, if not for some self-inflicted damage, Mississippi State probably wins this game easily.

Oklahoma started poorly but showed fight in working their way back into the ballgame. The bullpen effort of Kyle Tyler, Keaton Hernandez and Sheldon Neuse was terrific and looked like a strength the Sooners can build on. The combination of this effort and Alec Hansen's brilliant Saturday outing may be just what the Sooners need to jump start this season.

While Sooners’ star and former PG All-American Sheldon Neuse appeared to be frustrated with his performance over the first two days of the tournament, on Sunday his natural baseball talents took over and allowed him to make a few big statements.

Neuse lined out to right field early in the game and that was a great sign considering that he has already struck out 12 times in 56 total plate appearances (although he also has walked 13 times). Teams have focused on beating him away, especially off the plate, with the occasional fastball off the plate inside. Neuse is extremely aggressive and he often gave in to that pitching plan this weekend, thus ineffectively putting pitchers' pitches in play.

Neuse deployed a right field approach early in this game, and he forced the very talented Reid Humphreys to eventually work back inside. Neuse was waiting for him and he turned on a 93 mph fastball for a monstrous home run to left field.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 24
It’s far better to be on a hot streak at the end of the season rather than the beginning of the year. As a result the three teams spotlighted with the latest rankings are in a perfect position for a deep postseason run.

College Player, Pitcher of the Week
Ryan Gallagher of UC Santa Barbara threw a complete game shutout and leads the Gauchos staff into the Top-25 while Tennessee's Christian Moore went 9-for-15 with 4 home runs and 9 RBI.

College Top 25: April 22
Well, here we go folks, we have one month left in the regular season and things continue to get more unpredictable on the national landscape. We are seeing some new clubs making statements out west and non-Power 5s on the east coast continuing to jockey for post-season host consideration.

Week 10 Preview Pick 'Em
Things are close as we head into week 10 and with all but one series having a different prediction, this week could really open things up between Cozy and Vin.
