The Ragin' Cajuns scored two of their four runs on two solo home runs by rightfielder Ryan Gill and leftfielder Will Hawkins in the third and sixth innings, respectively. OU tallied their lone run in the sixth as a triple by shortstop Tommy Whiteman drove in centerfielder Jerome Godsey who had doubled in the previous at bat.

Whiteman and designated hitter Jeremy Vidales both turned in two-hit performances on the afternoon to pace the Sooners. Coose pitched the entire game and allowed only eight hits and three earned runs.

For ULL, Hawkins' home run was part of a 2-for-3 effort with a run scored and three RBIs. Templet never allowed more than three baserunners in an inning and struck out six batters along the way.
