HOW IT HAPPENED
Oklahoma Christian wasted little time setting the tone in the opening inning. Maci George doubled down the right-field line to lead off the frame, and Brewster followed with a single to put runners at the corners.

The Eagles added to their advantage in the third when Kadence Brewster launched a solo home run to left field, pushing the margin to 3-0.
 
Clark settled in after the early damage, retiring six straight at one point and stranding a runner at third in the fifth. In that inning, Brewster doubled and moved to third on a wild pitch, but Clark fielded a ground ball and started a pitcher-to-first-to-catcher double play to cut down Brewster at the plate and keep LCU within three.
 
Resendiz kept the Lady Chaps off balance most of the afternoon, striking out multiple batters in three different innings and allowing just one runner past second base through six frames.
 
LCU mounted its lone rally in the seventh. Madison Hunter was hit by a pitch to begin the inning, and Prisock followed with a bunt single. After a walk to Alexis Pacheco loaded the bases with one out, Castillo hit into a fielder's choice RBI, with Hunter getting home to trim the deficit to 3-1. However, a lineout to left field ended the threat and sealed the Eagles' victory.
