I apologize if this has been answered.
I see Tennessee and Oklahoma both were 2-1 for the weekend with the tie breaker going to Oklahoma.
Tennessee was listed as tournament champs.
Can someone break this down?

If they’re tied the champ is based on run differential

With four teams having finished this weekend's tournament with a 2-1 record, the Vols were tabbed as the 2024 Shriners Children's College Showdown Champions after having the best run differential of the four clubs (Tennessee – +6, Oklahoma – +3, Texas Tech – +3, Oregon – +1).

The first criteria after head to head was always runs allowed for my kids... I always thought that was because teams would focus on pitching and defense rather than running up the score.

The first rule of “pool play”, never talk about “pool play.”
