OU scored two runs in the second, two in the third, as well as three in the fourth and sixth to put up 10 on the day. Tulsa scored its lone runs on a solo home run in the second and an RBI double in the fourth, but Landry and Audrey Lowry combined to fan nine in six frames.

Garcia started the scoring with a solo home run to right field and Agbayani plated Cydney Sanders with a single after Sanders doubled down the left field line. Garcia, Sanders and Agbayani were in the mix again in the third, posting two singles and a sac fly to make it 4-1.

Barker homered to right center, scoring Abigale Dayton, for a 6-1 lead. After Kasidi Pickering walked, Garcia drew a free pass and Sanders was hit by a pitch, Agbayani drove in another with a single to center.

Agbayani capped the evening with a two-RBI triple to center field. She would score the run-rule clinching run on a Corri Hicks RBI groundout.
