No. 1 Oklahoma Sooners home run barage lifts them past No. 8 Kentucky Wildcats 9-1
After a stellar weekend that saw them outscore their opponents 64-2 in a five-game sweep at the Hall of Fame Classic, the Sooners continued their winning ways with a 9-1 win over the No. 8 Kentucky Wildcats on Tuesday evening.
Three Sooners hit multiple home runs and Jordy Bahl pitched her sixth complete game and the Sooners won by run-rule victory for the 22nd time this season. Jocelyn Alo, Lynnsie Elam, and Alyssa Brito each homered twice for the 26-0 Oklahoma Sooners.
Alo got the scoring started off for the Sooners in the top of a first for a solo shot, the 101st of her career. Lynnsie Elam, who was named the Big 12 Player of the Week on Tuesday continued her hot run with a solo home run in the second to extend the lead to 2-0.
Elam has six home runs and 16 RBIs for an Oklahoma Sooners lineup that continues to get hitting from every spot in the lineup.
The Sooners added four runs in the third inning to make the score 6-0 and with Bahl able to work around several jams on the evening, cruised to victory yet again. Bahl struck out 12 Wildcats hitters and allowed just five hits and one earned run in a pivotal win.
The Sooners kick off Big 12 play with a three-game series against the Baylor Bears on Friday in Norman before hosting Wichita State next Tuesday night.
