Oklahoma Baseball Caps Opening Weekend With Big Win Over No. 10 TCU

TCU and Oklahoma wrapped up the final day of the 2026 Shriners Children’s College Showdown. Read the game recap, scores and watch highlights.

The No. 10 TCU baseball team looked to close their opening weekend at Globe Life Field out with a third win, this time against the 2-0 and cruising Oklahoma team after their huge win in Bedlam. 

Oklahoma had other plans, though, securing yet another 10+ run win.

The 2026 Shriners Children's College Showdown was packed with excitement.

TCU's three runs in the top of the eighth against No. 23 Vanderbilt helped open their season with a win on Friday.

Then, the Horned Frogs defeated No. 7 Arkansas after taking an early four run lead and holding on as Arkansas tried to scrape their way back into the game.

That all came to a stop on Sunday night when Oklahoma's offensive firepower turned out too strong to tamp down.

The Shriners Children’s College Showdown was the first of three events at the 2026 College Baseball Series, which will bring 18 top-tier teams to GLF between now and March 1, and all of the action will unfold live on FloCollege and the FloSports app.
