GAME ONE: No. 1 Oklahoma 9, Miami 7
NORMAN, OK -- Miami and No. 1 Oklahoma (15-0) went toe-to-toe Friday before the nation's top team pulled out a 9-7 victory with two runs in the bottom of the seventh. 
It was the first game at the Sooners new Love Field, and an OU record crowd of 4,450 was on hand for the occasion. With an 8-0 win over Liberty in Game Two, Oklahama moved its NCAA Division I-record winning streak to 86 games. 
Allie Cummins, Jenna Golembiewski, Karli Spaid and Holy Blaska blasted home runs for Miami, accounting for four of the RedHawks . . .

​. . . six hits on the day. OU also had six homers, with the final shot pushing across the winning margin. 
The RedHawksi wasted no time in showing they were ready to battle. Spaid's two-run homer scored Cummins and Blaska added a homer of her own for a quick 3-0 MU lead. 
While Miami would not score again until the seventh, Oklahoma chipped away with single runs in the first, fourth and fifth. A big four-run sixth put the hosts up 7-3.
Cummins' two-run homer started MU's seventh inning scoring. Golembiewski and Spaid followed with their own circuit shots. However, catcher Kinzie Hansen capped the Sooner's 12-hit day with a two-run walk off homer. 
Addy Jarvis (4-1) took the loss for Miami, allowing five runs on eight hits. SJ Geurin (2-0) earned the win.

GAME TWO: Miami 12, Louisiana 10
NORMAN, OK -- After surrendering an 8-1 lead, Miami rallied with four runs in the sixth before holding off the Lousisiana Rajun Cajuns Friday at Love Field. It was the second of two games for MU, which fell to No. 1 Oklahoma 9-1 in the first game.
Holly Blaska belted two home runs, while Jenna Golembiewski and Chloe Parks also homered as part of a 16-hit RedHawks attack. Addi Jarvis (5-) picked up the win, giving up six runs on three hits. Madilyn Reeves scattered five hits and four runs, although only one was earned.
Blaska opened scoring with a two-run homer to right, but UL cut that in half with a first inning run. 
Blaska stroked her second home run in as many at bats -- a solo shot -- in the third and MU rallied for five runs in the top of the fifth for an 8-1 advantage. Blaska's double and a Parks two-run homer accounted for three of the runs.
The Rajun Cajuns rallied for three in the bottom half and exploded for five in the fifth to take a 9-8 lead. 
Miami went back in front with four runs in the sixth, and UL added a single run in the seventh inning for the final 12-10 margin.
