The Frogs rallied for three runs in the second on back to back doubles by Walter Olmstead and Mike Settle, then a two-run home run by Jonathan Marshall. TCU then took a 5-4 lead in the third, scoring two runs on a Erick Macha run-scoring single and a Settle RBI-basehit.
The Sooners tied the game in the bottom half of the inning on the Dobbs triple and a fielding error by shortstop Levi Robinson. The Sooners added insurance runs in the fifth, sixth and eighth innings to extend the lead to 9-5.
