Notes:
- The Sooners had four freshmen in the starting lineup; marking the 35th time this season OU has started three or more in a game.
- Oklahoma scored in the second and third inning of each game this series and in each of the last four games.
- Right-hander Alec Hansen made his first start on the mound since pitching at Texas Tech (3/24/16).
- Hansen became the third OU pitcher to take a no-hitter into the sixth this season.
- Hansen's nine strikeouts was his second highest total of the season.
- Hansen matched his longest outing of the season with six innings; marking the 12th start by an OU pitcher of at least six innings.
- The win marked Hansen's first since a victory at Kansas State (5/10/15) when he did not allow an earned run over five innings.
- Cody Thomas hit his fifth home run of the season with a two-run shot in the second inning.
- Thomas recorded his sixth multi-hit game of the season with a career-high three and is hitting .469 (15-for-32) since April 12.
- Blake Brewster registered his first multi-hit game and hit his first career home run; a solo shot in the second.
- The Sooners pushed their season total in home runs to 41; marking the most since hitting 41 in 2011.
- Cade Harris hit his fourth double and recorded his seventh multi-hit game of the season.
- In the second inning, Oklahoma hit for the cycle as a team with five hits, including two home runs.
- Alex Wise's second-inning triple extended his hit streak to 10 games. His career-best is 11 games recorded back in March.
- Sheldon Neuse hit his team-leading 10th home run of the season. He is the first Sooner to post double figure home run totals in a season since Matt Oberste hit 11 in 2013. Neuse now has 23 home runs in his career.
- Austin O'Brien picked up his eighth multi-hit and fourth three-hit game of the season.
- The win marked the second run-rule victory of the season for the Sooners. OU previously run-ruled Kansas (5/1/16) and had last won by a run-rule at home against New Orleans (4/21/13).
