OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Senior left-hander Ross Vance held Oklahoma to one hit over the last 8 2/3 innings and Kyle Davis hit a three-run homer, leading West Virginia to a 6-0 victory over Oklahoma in the Big 12 tournament on Wednesday.
Vance took over with one out in the first inning after starter Michael Grove injured his leg when he fielded a sacrifice bunt and tagged out Ben Hollas. Vance (7-3) struck out seven and walked three, and the Sooners managed only two hits for the game.
The Mountaineers (34-21) play Thursday afternoon against the winner between Kansas State and Texas Tech. The Sooners (28-26-1) meet the Kansas State-Texas Tech loser in the morning.
Davis' team-leading ninth home run highlighted West Virginia's four-run fourth inning against Jake Irvin (6-2). The freshman right-hander allowed eight hits and walked four in 3 2/3 innings.
Cole Austin and KC Huth had two hits apiece for the Mountaineers.
