OKLAHOMA CITY -- The 22nd-ranked Texas A&M baseball team stopped its late-season slide -- barely -- with a wild 17-15 victory over the 11th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners on Friday night at the Big 12 tournament before 7,416.

A&M (35-22) will conclude pool play at 7:30 p.m. Saturday against Texas Tech, a 4-2 winner over Missouri on Friday. Oklahoma will play Missouri at 4 p.m.

The wins by A&M and Tech on Friday left all four teams at 1-1 in pool play. Saturday's winner who beat the other team will advance to Sunday's championship game. For that to be the Aggies they need to beat Tech and have OU beat MU.

It will be hard for any of Saturday's final pool games to match what A&M and OU did for 4 hours Friday.

The Aggies wiped out a six-run deficit to take a 17-10 lead into the ninth, but with runners on the corners needed a double play grounder off the bat of Matt Harughty to end it.

The Sooners scored two runs in the ninth without a hit. Chris Ellison's bases-clearing double made it 17-15. Jamie Johnson followed with a single, then Nick Fleece fell behind Harughty 2-0 and was lifted for Travis Starling, who induced a grounder to third baseman Caleb Shofner on a 3-1 pitch for his fourth save.

The Sooners (41-17) seemed to be headed toward the title game after scoring six runs in the first inning against A&M starter Brooks Raley.

But the Aggies, who had lost five of their last six Big 12 games, answered with five runs in the bottom of the first. Brett Parsons had a pinch-hit, two-run double as the Aggies trimmed the deficit to one.

A&M kept scoring, adding runs in every inning but the fourth. The Aggies took the lead with a four-run sixth.

A&M had 19 hits, led by Parsons' 3-for-5, five-RBI night. Kyle Colligan was 3 for 4, and Joe Patterson added four hits and four RBIs.

Raley, Luke Anders, Kevin Gonzalez and Shofner each added two hits as every starter but shortstop Adam Smith had a hit. A&M didn't hit a home run but had nine extra-base hits, including a pair of doubles each by Parsons and Raley.

Oklahoma starter Michael Rocha, who pitched six shutout innings last weekend in Norman when the Sooners swept the Aggies, didn't make it out of the first inning Friday. He gave up only one hit but walked three.

All six OU pitchers gave up at least two runs each. Jeremy Erben (0-1) took the loss.

Oklahoma, which had a 10-7 lead after four innings, didn't score in the next four innings against winning pitcher Alex Wilson (6-6), Estevan Uriegas and Nick Fleece.

J.T. Wise was 3 for 4 for OU with four RBIs. Trey Sperring, who played for the Brazos Valley Bombers, hit a two-run homer in the first.
