"We needed a spark," Oklahoma coach Patty Gasso said. "We needed some kind of spark. I think when Jordy comes in to run, our team gets kind of amped."

Bahl is 4-0 at the World Series and hasn’t allowed a run in 21 2/3 innings. The sophomore helped Oklahoma push its Division I record win streak to 52 games.

Oklahoma's Tiare Jennings set the career World Series record for runs batted in with a single in the sixth that scored Rylie Boone and made it 5-0. Her 29 RBIs broke the record Oklahoma’s Jocelyn Alo set last year.

Boone doubled twice and Kinzie Hansen and Alyssa Brito each had two hits for the Sooners.

Mack Leonard, a senior who had only pitched 37 1/3 innings this season, got the start and took the loss for Florida
