Oklahoma assistant coach Todd Butler was ejected from the Sooners' game against Vanderbilt baseball on April 10 at Hawkins Field.
Butler was ejected during the bottom of the second inning with Logan Johnstone at the plate and a runner on first. Vanderbilt held an 8-5 lead. He was tossed by home plate umpire Angel Campos, who controversially ejected Coastal Carolina coach Kevin Schnall during the Men's College World Series in 2025.

The Commodores (21-14, 7-6 SEC) gave up five runs in the top of the first but came back to score eight in the bottom of the frame, aided by five walks and two hit batters by No. 18 Oklahoma (22-11, 5-8).
Johnstone eventually struck out, but Vanderbilt added on another run after Butler's ejection after Ryker Waite's RBI single.
Commodores fans cheered as the Hawkins Field PA played "Bye Bye Bye" as Butler left the ballpark.
Butler, the Sooners' recruiting coordinator, has been on staff since 2023.
The April 10 game was Game 2 of the series after Vanderbilt won Game 1, 10-5, on April 9.
