Three batters later, Walk slammed a homer to right against Justin Byrd to make it a six-run margin.

Gambill added a two-run double in the ninth to increase the lead to 11-3.

Walk homered to center with one out in the third off Paul Farley (8-2) to break the scoreless tie.

The Sooners added three runs in the fourth. Gambill homered to right with one out to make it 2-0. Brock followed with a single and moved to second on a balk before Harris slammed a two-run blast to right-center.

Georgia pushed across a run in the fifth when Kolby Branch doubled with one out and scored on a single by Black.

Oklahoma answered in the sixth when Gambill singled, stole second, moved to third on a fly ball and scored on Harris’ chopper to second to make it 5-1.

Brennan Hudson singled with one out in the Georgia sixth and Ryan Wynn walked with two outs to end Wesloski’s night. Mercurius entered and Jack Arcamone reached on an error to load the bases.

Mercurius then walked Branch and Black to force in two runs as the Bulldogs crept within 5-3. Mercurius then retired Tre Phelps on a grounder to end the inning.
