The Sooners brushed aside an early first-inning lead by No. 14 Louisiana Lafayette Thursday night – something else that hasn’t happened in a very long time – and shut down the spigot from there in rolling to an 8-2 win, their 26th consecutive victory and a 1-0 advantage in their NCAA Super Regional best two-of-three series.
Oklahoma still trails the Ragin’ Cajuns in the all-time series (12-15), but the Sooners have won four of five games between the two schools in postseason play and are a perfect 4-0 when they have been matched against each other in Norman.
