A sudden thunderstorm rolled over Oklahoma City on Thursday afternoon, prompting officials to suspend Game 2 of the SEC baseball series between the Tennessee Volunteers and the Oklahoma Sooners. The contest was halted in the seventh inning with one out and a runner on first base, leaving the Volunteers ahead 5-3.
Tennessee’s lead was established earlier in the game, highlighted by a four-run third inning that featured key hits from Manny Marin, Jay Abernathy Jr. and Trent Grindlinger. The Volunteers added a single run in the fifth after a defensive error allowed Henry Ford to reach base, setting the stage for Blake Grimmer’s scoring play.
The early innings had seen Oklahoma jump out to a 3-0 advantage, courtesy of a two-run home run by Camden Johnson. Despite the setback, the Volunteers remained poised to extend their lead as the storm cleared.
Resumption and Upcoming Game 3
Game 2 is slated to resume at 2 p.m. EDT at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark, with officials planning to slide straight into Game 3 roughly 45 minutes later. The schedule aims to minimize further weather interruptions and keep the series on track.
