The ranked win marked head coach Skip Johnson's 200th career victory at Oklahoma and snapped TCU's 17-game home win streak.

"I thought Braden (Davis) was outstanding," said Johnson. "It was tough early, we just kept grinding at-bats out and that was really huge. Kyson (Witherspoon) came in and did a great job finishing the game. We executed with two strikes, there was a bunch of two-strike and two-out hits in that four-run (seventh) inning, that was huge."

The Sooners and TCU play again on Saturday at 5 PM.

Good luck to the Sooners toady.
