Steadily, the Sooners sapped whatever energy senior OSU outfielder Chyenne Factor jolted into Cowgirl Stadium with a mighty swing in the first inning.
Factor electrified the 1,602 fans — a Cowgirl Stadium record, thanks to the recently installed metal grandstand in right field — with a go-ahead three-run blast off OU’s Jordy Bahl in the bottom of the first.
But the Cowgirls would not bat with a lead again. The No. 1 Sooners, with the calm, relentless attack expected from a team entering the game with a 46-1 record, slowly overwhelmed OSU.
