Oral Roberts 7 Oklahoma 0

FORT WORTH, Texas-Drew Bowen tossed eight shutout innings and Oral Roberts took advantage of a porous Oklahoma defense as the Golden Eagles registered a 7-0 victory over the Sooners to stay alive in the Fort Worth Regional, Saturday at Lupton Stadium.

The Golden Eagles (37-21) next faces regional top seed and host TCU in another elimination game at 2 p.m. Sunday.

Bowen (6-2) was in control form the start, limiting Oklahoma to five singles among its six hits. He struck out just one batter, but induced the Sooners (41-19) into 16 fly ball outs. He retired the side in order just once – in the second – but never faced more than five batters in any inning and allowed only three base runners to reach scoring position over the first seven innings.
