In the 10th with the bases loaded, a two-out RBI single up the middle from Casey Borba ended the game.

OU starting LHP Cord Rager went 4.2 innings of two-run ball, surrendering three hits and two walks to go with three strikeouts. OU used four pitchers out of the bullpen with Jason Bodin (L, 1-1) taking the loss, giving up one run on no hits and three walks with one strikeout in 1.2 innings.
