The Sooners had four freshmen in the starting lineup; marking the 36^th time this season OU has started three or more in a game.
Jake Irvin became the first Sooner freshman to start the Bedlam opener in the last 17 series.
Cody Thomas hit a three-run home run in the fourth for his sixth jack of the season.
Thomas' home run ended pitcher Thomas Hatch's stretch of 33-consecutive scoreless innings and ended a stretch of 38 2/3 innings without an earned run against him.
Thomas lifted the Sooners home run total to 42 on the season marking the highest for OU in the BBCOR (2011-present) era.
Thomas drove in a career-high five runs. Domenic DeRenzo was the last Sooner with five RBI in a game against Oral Roberts (5/3).
Since April 12, Thomas is hitting .459 (17-for-37).
Steele Walker hit his team-leading 15^th double. He is tied with Kody Kaiser (2005) for fifth most on record by a Sooner freshman (1993-present).
Sheldon Neuse stole his team-leading 12^th base of the season.
Neuse recorded his team-leading 22^nd multi-hit and 12^th multi-RBI game of the season.
The Sooners experienced their first rain delay of the season. A two-hour, eight-minute delay with one out in the top of the sixth.
Alex Wise extended his hit streak to 11 games with a single in the 11^th to match his career-best streak, which occurred March 6-22 of this season.
Oklahoma last won in the Bedlam opener in 2010; a 7-6 decision in Tulsa.
Austin O'Brien walked four times; matching a career-high. He is also the last Sooner to walk four times in a game having done so against Oklahoma State (4/15/14) in an 18-inning win for OU in Stillwater.
