Thomas hit a home run and a double while Flores drove in a run, but it wasn't nearly enough for the Longhorns to overcome the Sooners. Oklahoma scored five runs over the final three innings to seal the win even though Texas outhit the Sooners 12-10.
Max Grubbs allowed five runs, one of which was earned, on seven hits for the Longhorns with three strikeouts and a walk over five innings. The Sooners were 4 for 5 with a runner on third and less than two outs.
