The bullpen of Mason Bixby (1.0 IP), Nate Smithburg (1.0) and Drew Rerick (1.0) finished the job with no hits or walks allowed to the Broncos (5-8) over the final three innings. Bixby struck out a pair in his one inning while Smithburg and Rerick each fanned one.
At the plate, Brendan Brock and Deiten Lachance had identical 2-for-4 days with a pair of RBIs each. The Sooners put up a trio of runs in both the second and sixth innings, powered by Brock and Lachance doubles along with a two-bagger from Drew Dickerson and a pair of singles from Alec Blair and Kyle Branch.
