Oklahoma came out of the gate swinging, beating the Longhorns 8-3 in Game 1. In its 8-4 win in Game 2, Oklahoma dominated on offense early as Kasidi Pickering hit a home run to left field giving the Sooners the lead in the bottom of the second inning. Their offense kept the momentum going and brought in three runs in the sixth en route to their championship victory.
