Evan’s Insight: Sports (10/13/21)

Over the last few weeks, we’ve seen some amazing games within all of the areas of the sports world. Starting in the MLB, the 2021 World Series concluded with the Braves winning over the Astros in 6. In what was for the most part a one-sided romp, the Braves completely floored the Astros in all but 2 games with their dominant pitching, led by their ace Max Fried and the electric arms out of their bullpen. The Astros’ powerhouse offense that had dominated throughout the most of the playoffs was held silent for 4 games, which ultimately was their greatest downfall, even if their starting pitching was fairly lackluster. Over in the NCAAF, the Baylor Bears defeated the Sooners by a final score of 27-14. The Bear’s defense was able to shut out Caleb Williams and Spencer Rattler through 4 quarters. Coming into this game undefeated, Oklahoma now faces the pressure to beat OSU next week in order to maintain any hopes of clinching the 4th seed in the playoffs.

That’s all for next week, but until then, have a great Sooner Sunday!
