In order to secure the regular season Big XII Title, the Oklahoma Sooners needed a sweep of the TCU Horned Frogs at home in Norman. Playing with a 4-2 lead, Pete Hughes and company failed to seize the opportunity. On the other hand, TCU strung together a couple of singles in the ninth inning. A throw down to second skipped into center field allowing the Horned Frogs to break the tie putting all the pressure back on the home team. Unable to answer, OU eventually fell 5-4 to the No. 3 team in the country.
To open the evening, Craig Aikin reached base after being hit by a pitch.
