Vanderbilt (26-10, 8-7 SEC) sits in an interesting position halfway through conference play. If the Commodores repeat their 8-7 first-half record with their current RPI of No. 7, they will likely host a regional. But Vanderbilt has continually put up inconsistent performance and has struggled to win games where the opponent scores a lot of runs.

Vanderbilt baseball lost its series to Oklahoma but salvaged the Sunday game with a run rule to avoid the sweep.

The Sooners jumped ahead early with three runs in the first inning and Kyson Witherspoon kept Vanderbilt batters guessing as OU took down the Commedores.
