    The Sooners took a 2-1 fourth-inning lead on Michael Snyder’s bellowing hit over the right-field wall sent himself and Easton Carmichael across the plate. 

    TCU answered in the fifth. A sacrifice bunt on no outs put runners on second and third, and a Logan Maxwell single brought both runners home to put the home team up 3-2.

    A Carter Frederick seventh-inning single to left field scored Jackson Nicklaus, tied the game and put Kendall Pettis on second. Pettis scored next to take the lead on John Spikerman’s single while Frederick advanced to third. Both Frederick and Spikerman scored on Carmichael and Bryce Madron’s RBI as the Sooners shot ahead to a 6-3 lead.

    Nicklaus scored the game’s final run on a sacrifice fly via Frederick in the eighth inning.

    Friday was the Sooners’ second win on a four-night trip to Texas after they defeated UTA 5-1 on Thursday. They play TCU again on Saturday at 5 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m.

    It was also OU’s second win this year against a ranked opponent. The Sooners beat No. 9 Tennessee on Feb. 17 in Arlington.
