FINAL: No. 2 Oklahoma 2, LBSU 0 (11 innings)
One of the best pitching performances against the mighty Sooners in the last decade, but the Beach come up short on their home field.
Oklahoma finally breaks through in the 11th on a two-out RBI double by Abby Dayton. Then she scores on an RBI single by Ella Parker.
Now the Beach need a pair of runs to stay alive!
Mid 11th: No. 2 Oklahoma 2, LBSU 0
