After getting it done in the latter stages of the game Friday and Saturday, No. 10 Texas Tech baseball pounced on the Sooners early to finish off a series sweep of Oklahoma with a 8-4 victory Sunday at L. Dale Mitchell Park.

The Red Raiders (33-14, 14-7) jumped out to a 5-0 lead through four innings, and sophomore right-hander Bryce Bonnin tossed six shutout innings of two-hit ball before turning it over to the bullpen.

Junior infielder Josh Jung continued his tear, going 4-for-5 with three doubles and two runs driven in. Sophomores Gabe Holt and Cody Masters added three hits apiece as Tech compiled 15 hits in the contest to Oklahoma’s six and matched its season high with seven doubles.

Jung capped off a big weekend, hitting .615 with six of his eight hits going for extra bases. For the week, he hit .550 with five doubles, two dingers, five walks and six RBI. His numbers, however, were topped by senior Cameron Warren, who hit .556 for the week with three home runs, three doubles, seven walks and seven RBI.

The Red Raiders will return home to host a midweek doubleheader against FIU (20-27, 9-15 C-USA) on Tuesday at Rip Griffin Park before turning their attention to finals. Following the finals break, Tech will close out the regular season with a three-game series against TCU (26-20, 8-10) May 16-18 in Lubbock.
