First Game: A 15‑5 Rout of The Citadel

Second Game: Rallying from a Six‑Run Deficit
In the nightcap the Sooners faced a six‑run hole before flipping the script. Deiten Lachance’s go‑ahead grand slam ignited the rally, and Trey Gambill added his second homer of the weekend. Reliever Gavyn Jones earned his first win of the season, and LJ Mercurius recorded his second save of the tournament.

The offensive explosion was backed by solid pitching and disciplined defense. With eight extra‑base hits and five home runs across the two games, the Sooners demonstrated depth that could prove decisive in the coming days.
