COLLEGE STATION, Texas--Danny Black drove in six of Oklahoma's runs to lead the 17th-ranked Sooners to a 10-2 win and a series victory over Texas A&M Sunday afternoon before 3,352 fans at Olsen Field.
Black delivered a bases-clearing double in the second to put the Sooners (29-11, 8-8) on the board and then capped a five-run fifth with a three-run homer to right to put OU up by eight.
Kevin Gonzalez and Adam Smith drove in runs for the Aggies (22-16-1, 7-10-1) in the fourth and fifth, respectively.
Oklahoma would close the scoring in the seventh with a pinch-hit home run by Drew Harrison.
Black's six RBIs were a career high, as he finished the afternoon 2-for-4. Caleb Bushyhead added three hits for the Sooners, who out-hit A&M, 11-10. Brodie Greene and Joe Patterson had three hits apiece for the Aggies.
OU starter Bobby Shore (6-2) was strong in picking up the victory, going seven complete and allowing eight hits, two runs and two walks while striking out three.
Clayton Ehlert (2-4) was saddled with the loss after giving up five hits and three earned runs in two innings.
