Oklahoma converted two hits and three errors into a 3-0 lead in the first. Carmichael went deep to left in a six-run third inning, and his three-run homer to right center highlighted a five-run sixth and made it 15-0. Sam Christiansen had two of the Sooners' five doubles.

Coveted Star Visits Michigan Immediately After Ohio State Meetings
Coveted Star Visits Michigan Immediately After Ohio State Meetings originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Ohio State Buckeyes are pushing hard to land the top recruit from Texas. But they have Big Ten competition for the prospect. Advertisement One week after five-star offensive tackle Felix Ojo officially visited the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus, Ohio, Ojo will be in Ann Arbor, Michigan to see the Michigan Wolverines during the first full weekend of June. "Felix Ojo has been a busy man. He has already taken official visits to Colorado, Florida, Ohio State and Ole Miss," On3's Chad Simmons wrote. "The five-star offensive tackle out of Texas will be in Ann Arbor this weekend and the Wolverines have some ground to make up. Texas is setting the pace and Ohio State looks to be the Longhorns' top competition heading into the weekend. "Can the Wolverines become a contender? This is their chance. They would love to dip into Texas, like they did with Ty Haywood a year ago, and steal one." Ohio State Buckeyes football head coach Ryan Day© Kyle Robertson/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images One could argue the Buckeyes are trying to "steal" Ojo instead. Based on Simmons' assessment, Ohio State has a better chance of landing the five-star recruit. Advertisement But the question is whether Michigan can move the needle for Ojo this weekend. Ojo had already posted a picture from the beginning of his Ann Arbor visit early Friday morning. Based on the 247 Sports composite rankings, Ojo is the No. 2 offensive tackle and top Texas recruit in the 2026 class. Ojo is also a top 10 recruit overall, sitting at No. 7 on the 247 Sports composite rankings for the entire class. The tackle will play his final high school season at Lake Ridge in Mansfield, Texas this fall.

Boxing tonight: Live updates for Abdullah Mason fight card
So the show will go on. Only without Keyshawn Davis, who weighed in Friday 4.3 pounds over the 135-pound limit for his bout scheduled for Saturday. That led to the cancelation of his WBO lightweight title fight against Edwin De Los Santos – and an adjustment to the lineup for Saturday. Advertisement The new main event: Abdullah Mason vs. Jeremia Nakathila in a 10-round lightweight bout. There will be no major championship belt at stake. What will be on the line: Mason's perfect record. Mason, a 21-year-old from Ohio, is 18-0 with 16 KOs. In his last fight, he knocked down Carlos Ornelas three times before the referee stopped the fight after the sixth round. There could be more knockdowns Saturday considering Nakathila (26-4, 21 KOs) suffered back-to-back KO defeats in 2023 before winning his past three fights. Abdullah Mason fight time Abdullah Mason vs. Jeremia Nakathila fight date: Saturday, June 7 Advertisement Time: Main card starts at 10 p.m. ET.

He said he plans to move up in weight and fight at 140 pounds. There is no set date for his next fight after the cancelation.
