Cedeno doubled with one out in the sixth and, three batters later, Mike Kinkade hit an RBI single to snap a scoreless tie. Eric Patterson's two-run double highlighted a four-run seventh and Koyie Hill doubled in Kinkade and Micah Hoffpauir to cap a four-run ninth.

Marlon Byrd and Nate Gold each drove in a run for Oklahoma (19-20). Frank Catalanotto went 1-for-3 as he continued a rehab assignment. The outfielder went on the 15-day disabled list on May 1 with a right bicep strain.
