Oklahoma went down early on a Florida State home run in the bottom of the first inning. The Sooners quickly responded with a home run of their own in the top of the third.

In the sixth inning, Jocelyn Alo smashed a homer to give the Sooners a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. Alo’s dinger also gave Oklahoma 159 home runs for the season, setting an NCAA single-season record.

“We’re not going to take a loss two times in a row to the same team,” Alo said after the game.

The teams will play for the national championship Thursday at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN.
