With the win, the Gators (30-17, 12-11) forced the series decider Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. CT.<\/p>\n
Oklahoma (30-15, 12-11) jumped on top early with a two-run bottom of the first. After a pair of singles from Camden Johnson<\/a> and Trey Gambill<\/a>, Jaxon Willits<\/a> drove them home on a two-run double to left center.<\/p>\n The Gators would respond with six runs across the next three innings to push the lead to 6-2 before OU answered with a two-run single from Johnson in the home half of the fourth.<\/p>\n Florida added four runs across the eighth and ninth while Deiten Lachance<\/a> hit a solo shot in the bottom of the ninth for the Sooners to bring the final to 10-5.<\/p>\n OU left 10 runners on base on the night, including stranding the bases loaded in the fifth and eighth.<\/p>\n OU starting left-handed pitcher Cameron Johnson<\/a> went just one inning, exiting at the top of the second due to soreness after a scoreless first inning with two strikeouts.<\/p>\n Sooner relief pitching was highlighted by freshman Nick Wesloski<\/a>, going 3.1 innings and surrendering one run on one hit with no walks and three strikeouts. The frosh retired 10 of his 11 batters faced before surrendering a solo shot to his final batter.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pitchers of Record<\/p>\n Win: Caden McDonald (4-1) Statistical Snapshot<\/p>\n
