TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Sheldon Neuse broke a tie with a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning and had a three-run double in the eighth in Oklahoma's 6-1 victory over West Virginia on Thursday in an elimination game in the Big 12 tournament.
On Friday, the third-seeded Sooners (33-26) will meet the Kansas State-Oklahoma State loser.
After seventh-seeded West Virginia (27-27) tied it at 1 in the fifth, Neuse delivered his go-ahead sacrifice fly. In the eighth, Neuse lined a pitch from Mountaineers starter Ross Vance (7-5) into center to clear the bases and give Oklahoma a 5-1 advantage.
Robert Tasin (9-2), who pitched the first seven innings for Oklahoma, drove in Tasin with a single two batters later.
