Tennessee ace Karlyn Pickens carried her team across the finish line, and the Volunteers handed Oklahoma its first series defeat of the season with a 5-3 victory. The No. 2-ranked Sooners were unable to cash in on Abigale Dayton’s leadoff walk in the fifth or her two-out single in the seventh.

The Oklahoma Sooners evened their SEC softball series against Tennesse by beating the Volunteers 4-1 Saturday afternoon at Love's Field.
