STUDENT’S DEATH DUE TO BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA »

SOONERS’ TITLE RUN STALLED

Tobi NeidySports Reporter

The Sooners are down but far from out of the Women’s College World Series.

National Player of the Year Keilani Ricketts had an off night in the 8-6 loss to SEC champion Alabama on Tuesday in Oklahoma City.

Five hit-by-pitches, only five strikeouts and six runs given up in 3.1 innings isn’t the stat l ine OU coach Patty Gasso

usually sees from her start-ing pitcher.

“I could see Keilani was laboring a little bit, so I wanted to get her out and get her rested,” Gasso said. “I just wanted to get her mind right.”

But in Ricketts’ defense, the San Jose, Calif., native usually had the day off in the second game of a three-game series this season.

“I just wasn’t giving my team momentum today,” Ricketts said. “And that’s a pitcher’s rule, is just giving your team momentum to make those outs.”

After the 4-1 win over Alabama on Monday, when Ricketts finished with 13 Ks, Gasso said the team was treating this championship series like a Big 12 series be-cause it was something the team could relate to.

With only nine squads in this year’s Big 12 Conference, t h e te a m s w e re ab l e to schedule best-of-three series in order to determine a true champion without an offi-cial conference tournament.

OU bested all of the Big 12 opponents to win its ninth Big 12 title, collecting series

sweeps over Kansas and Iowa State.

With six series that were

determined by two wins, OU’s mishap against the Crimson Tide on Tuesday night wasn’t unfamiliar to this Sooner team.

“It’s hard to beat us twice, but we know that,” Gasso said.

And Gasso said she be-lieves that even though her Sooner team lost, OU actu-ally has the advantage of

going into Game 3 because Ricketts will be rested and the OU offense is still com-peting well, racking up nine hits in the loss.

“Right now, we have an-other shot,” Gasso said. “In the Big 12, we talked about how we may win the first game and not win the sec-ond, but the third game wins the series. And we have that shot tomorrow, and we’re going to fight tooth and nail.

“We didn’t deserve to win that game, but we have the advantage going out tomor-row with a rested Ricketts, and we got to see (Alabama start ing pitcher Jackie) Traina all night.”

COVERSTORY

OU rallies, will face South Carolina in Super Regional

AnAlysis » bAsebAll

dilloN PhilliPsSports Reporter

The Oklahoma baseball team punched its tick-et to the Super Regionals of the 2012 NCAA Baseball Championship with a 5-2 win over Appalachian State on Monday night, winning its fourth game in two days.

The Sooners now face the unenviable task of meeting back-to-back defending national champi-ons South Carolina — the Sooners’ ouster in 2010 — in the Columbia, S.C., Super Regional.

But the battle-tested Sooners have proven that they can hold their own against the nation’s best.

OU fell 5-4 to Appalachian State in the Sooners first game of the Charlottesville, Va., Regional on Saturday. The Sooners

knew then what it would take back-to-back doublehead-ers to win the tournament.

It was lose and go home, and the Sooners refused to lose.

It all started in an extra-inning affair against Army on Sunday, in which the Sooners won 2-1 in 10 innings.

In their second game Sunday, the Sooners eliminated host school Virginia, 5-4.

On Monday, the Sooners beat Appalachian State twice, despite the pitching staff being depleted.

Oklahoma’s offense went off in the first game, as senior outfielder Cody Reine and sophomore designated hitter Matt Oberste combined to drive in 10 runs.

After an 0-for-5 start to the regional, Oberste went 7-for-10 over the last three games, raking in six RBIs, a pair of doubles and his sixth homer of the season.

In the final game of the regional, junior converted first baseman Drew Harrison took the hill in his first career start.

Harrison gave up two runs on three hits in a career-best six innings.

The Sooners will have a week to rest before the best-of-three series begins at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Sooners won four games in two days to advance to the next round of play

Festival to showcase local films

JAMES CORLEYManaging Editor

A film by an OU alumnus called “Cinema Six” will be screened at this year’s dead-CENTER Film Festival in Oklahoma City.

Mark Potts, who gradu-ated from OU in December 2010, said he and co-direc-tor Cole Selix used to work at an Edmond movie theater in high school a n d b a s e d “Cinema Six” on their expe-riences work-ing there.

The film features some of the directors’ friends from Oklahoma or Texas, and both also play roles in the film.

With three months until production and a limited budget, they found a theater in Lockhart, Texas, willing to give them free reign for a week for only $700.

P o t t s a n d S e l i x h av e screened several films at the festival, including “S&6M Lawn Care” last year.

The Daily: What were the challenges unique to making “Cinema Six” as opposed to your previous projects?

Potts: There was a lot more pressure. Before, it was just my student loan money and extra work money I had. This time, it was investors and peoples’ jobs and money and stress and more stress. It was still fun — don’t get me wrong

Gabe (played by co-writer/co-director Mark Potts) reels up a projector during “Cinema Six,” which will be screened at 6:15 p.m. Friday and 12:45 p.m. Sunday at deadCENTER Film Festival in Oklahoma City. Potts is an OU graduate and based the film on his experiences working in a movie theater.

— but it’s a lot more intense when there is money and jobs on the line.

The Daily: How much of the movie is based your actual experiences while working at the theater?

Potts: A lot of it is. Some of the more dramatic moments are fiction but rooted in fact. For example, the main characters don’t want to leave the theater because it’s their second

home. We were never really scared to leave, but we were nervous about leaving for college. But every customer interaction (except Cole’s angry man) is based off real experiences, and nearly every moment in the theater having to do with the job is real.

The Daily: How did you find the theater in Lockhart that allowed you free reign to film the project?

Potts: Two of our three producers, Don Swaynos and Kelly Williams, found it. We were looking for an older theater, something found in a small town. We tried for a long time to find a theater in Oklahoma, but nothing worked. We found small theaters, but they had gone digital (we needed film projectors) or they

weren’t wanting to help or they cost way too much. This theater fit every criteria we needed.

The Daily: What was the best/funniest moment during the filming of “Cinema Six?”

Potts: Best and funniest was watching “Big Momma’s House 3” at midnight with the cast and crew after a 10-hour day and much alcohol and beer present. That was a magical and offensive 90 minutes.

A film about a local band made by a local filmmaker will be screened Friday at deadCENTER Film Festival in Oklahoma City.

“The Shittiest Movie Ever Made,” by Oklahoma State grad Nathan Poppe, is about Norman punk-rock group Shitty/Awesome.

It is Poppe’s second sub-mission to the festival after screening a local music doc-umentary, “Black Canyon’s Crossroads for the Restless,” last year.

“I had such a good time that it inspired me to enter again,” Poppe said.

The Daily: What was your inspiration for this film?

Poppe: I got a phone call asking me to film a punk-rock concert in Norman of this band called Shitty/Awesome. It sounded like more fun than sitting at home and watching “Desperate Housewives,” so I went. It was so crazy at that concert, I started filming one song for the band and didn’t want to stop. It was like a scene from a movie. There were fireworks, there were beer cans flying around me, people were ripping their shirts off like the Incredible Hulk. I think my camera still smells like beer from that night.

The Daily: What got you started making films?

Poppe: I was a journalism student at OSU. I didn’t think I would ever film. I was afraid of cameras because they are so expensive. Then my friends and I started a music show. Since then, I think I have been a part of at least 200 music videos. There is a lot of musical talent in Oklahoma. You may not realize it, but it’s true. It really inspired me.

The Daily: As an Oklahoman filmmaker, how do you think the festival is important for other local filmmakers?

Poppe: I think

deadCENTER is a really cool venue. Making a movie is so expensive that it’s rare for smaller projects to find an opportunity like this. My film is one of the best things I have ever made. It’s really a testament to the fact that if you want to make movies, you only need a camera and an audio recorder. That’s all I used.

Sam HigginSCampus Reporter

The death of an OU student has been determined to be an accident due to blunt force trauma, according to the state medical examiner’s office.

Casey Cooke, 22, died of blunt force trauma to the head and chest, said Amy Elliott, chief administrative officer.

A toxicology report of Cooke’s body is still pending and may take between two and four months, Elliott said.

The senior’s body was found at 2:23 a.m. Sunday outside the east side of Evans Hall, according to the OUPD report. Emergency crews responded and performed CPR on Cooke, but she was pronounced dead at the scene. OUPD has not released any further information.

Cooke’s uncle, Don Cooke, said she had taken off her shoes and put them in her purse so she would have better traction climbing down the Evans Hall ladder. She apparently slipped on the way down, he said.

Just before the accident, Cooke was on Evans Hall talking on the phone with two of her friends, her roommate Alex Pettigrew said. Cooke told her friends she had to go because she thought the police were coming. Pettigrew said she was not on the phone with Cooke at the time.

Cooke was an ambitious and hard-working person who also was very laid back, Pettigrew said. Cooke was a mem-ber of the Pi Beta Phi sorority.

“She was very approachable and likeable,” Pettigrew said.

Lots of college seniors go on top of Evans Hall and other campus buildings, Pettigrew said.

“We’ve all taken classes in these buildings for the past four years and this is just a completely different view,” Pettigrew said. “It is dangerous. I can see why she should have not been doing that — and no one else should have been doing that either — but I don’t think she or anyone else saw that as a risk because a lot of people were doing it.”

The university, which released a statement Monday morning, did not have further comments, OU spokesman Michael Nash said.

Cooke, the 2008 valedictorian of Edmond North High School, recently earned a bachelor’s degree in zoology and was finishing up another bachelor’s in Spanish this fall.
