After dropping its first game of the day to No. 11 Nebraska, LSU (7-1) bounced back with a strong offensive performance. The Tigers scored nine runs on eight hits.

Junior right-hander Cece Cellura (2-0) earned her second win as a Tiger, allowing four runs on seven hits in a complete-game effort. She struck out three batters and walked two.

Oklahoma State (4-3) added its final run in the bottom of the seventh when freshman outfielder Jayelle Austin doubled to left field to score a run, but LSU closed it out for the 9-4 victory.

LSU broke the game open in the top of the seventh. Junior second baseman Sierra Daniel tripled to right field to score senior center fielder Jalia Lassiter, then junior third baseman Ally Hutchins singled through the right side to plate Daniel. Hutchins later scored on a fielding error, and T. Edwards capped the inning by stealing home to give LSU a commanding 9-3 lead.
