PROVO, UT — Oklahoma baseball completed the three-game sweep of BYU Saturday in Provo with a 10-7 win to push its win streak to seven straight.
The Sooners have swept four conference series for the first time since the Big 12’s inception in 1996 and sit alone at the top of the Big 12 standings with a 14-4 record in conference play.
Senior Bryce Madron powered the charge with a career day, hitting two home runs and a double, batting in a career-best seven runs. It was the most RBI for a Sooner since Cale Ellis had seven vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff in 2010.

The Sooners scored early and often, starting with three runs on four hits at the top of the first. A leadoff double from freshman Jason Walk set up Madron for his first home run of the day on a two-run shot to right center. Redshirt senior Michael Snyder then doubled and fellow senior Anthony Mackenzie doubled him home with a knock to left to make it 3-0 before the Cougars had their first at-bat.
BYU would plate a pair in the home half of the first on a double to right field. OU would get both runs back at the top of the second, courtesy Madron again. The senior outfielder sent his second two-run home run over the right center wall for his second blast in as many at-bats. It marked the first back-to-back homer game of his career.
The Cougars would tie the contest at five at the bottom of the second on a run-scoring double and pair of RBI singles. OU starting LHP Grant Stevens would strand a pair with a popup to reduce the damage.
Oklahoma pushed one across in the fourth via a HBP drawn by Snyder before putting up another crooked number in the fifth, scoring three runs on a Madron bases-clearing double.
Single runs would be scored in the bottom of the fifth and ninth by the Cougars and the Sooners pushed one across on a wild pitch in the eighth to bring the final score to 10-7.

The Sooners used six arms in the victory with senior Jett Lodes getting his first win of the season and second of his career in relief, striking out a pair in two scoreless innings while surrendering just one hit. Starting pitcher Stevens went two innings, allowing five runs on five hits with three strikeouts and two walks. Relievers James Hitt, Carson Atwood, Jace Miner and Malachi Witherspoon all combined to finish the game with Hitt fanning three and Atwood striking out one.
At the plate, Madron’s 3-for-4 day led OU while Snyder and freshman Isaiah Lane also registered multi-hit games.
The Sooners return to L. Dale Mitchell Park for a four-game homestand starting Tuesday vs. Wichita State. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m.

Another offensive lineman from Oklahoma’s heralded 2024 group of freshman has decided to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal.
Third-year sophomore tackle Isaiah Autry-Dent announced Monday on social media that he’ll be entering the portal when it opens on Jan. 2.
“I’m truly grateful for the incredible, life-changing experience I’ve had at the University of Oklahoma,” he wrote. “The dedication of the staff, the camaraderie with my teammates, and the unwavering support from the fans have made this journey unforgettable. I’ve learned lessons on and off the field that I will carry with me for the rest of my life, and I’m thankful for every moment, every challenge and every triumph along the way.”

Dent added that he’s “given it a great deal of thought and prayed for guidance” but intends to leave OU with 3-4 years of eligibility remaining and is “excited about exploring new opportunities to continue growing as a player and as a person.”
After much prayer and family talks, I’ll enter the transfer portal on January 2 with three years of eligibility left. Thank you #SoonerNationpic.twitter.com/AM15EMHlHV
Dent was one of five offensive linemen signed in the 2024 class, and he’s the third one to leave, joining Eugene Brooks and Josh Aisosa. After just two seasons, only Eddy Pierre-Louis and Daniel Akinkunmi remain.

Dent was listed at 304 pounds as a true freshman but in July checked in at 317 pounds — the biggest overall weight gain of any offensive player, which was a reflection of his hard work and dedication as the OU offensive line made an offseason mandate to get bigger and stronger.
Last spring, senior center Troy Everett was asked to assess Dent’s progress following his freshman season.
“Isaiah works hard,” Everett said. “Isaiah’s going to be great. Isaiah, right now, he’s just got to get comfortable when he’s out there, but that goes for every young guy.”

Dent played in just one game — against Maine — and logged just 26 snaps on offense and nine snaps on special teams during the 2024 season, then didn’t get on the field at all in 2025.
The former 3-star prospect from Fulton, MS, is a second cousin to former OU running back Marcus Dupree. His mother, Pashen Dent-Autry, was a two-time national champion basketball player for Tennessee legend Pat Summitt.
Autry was a consensus 3-star prospect coming out as a high school All-American at Itawamba Agricultural High School, where he was a 6-foot-7, 300-pound standout.
Autry picked the Sooners over Alabama, Auburn, Florida State and Ole Miss, among others, and could have plenty of options.
