Oklahoma hammered seven home runs, including a trio from Ella Parker, to overpower Washington 15-2 in five innings on Sunday. The Sooners scored in every inning, highlighted by a six-run first, to improve to 13-2 on the season and win five of six contests at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic in Cathedral City, CA.
Why it matters
This offensive outburst by Oklahoma, led by Ella Parker's three home runs, showcases the Sooners' powerful lineup and their ability to dominate opponents. The win also keeps Oklahoma in strong position heading into conference play.
The details
Oklahoma started the game with a pair of doubles, with Kendall Wells' double bringing home Kasidi Pickering. Parker then singled, and Nelly McEnore-Marinas launched a three-run bomb to put the Sooners up 4-0. Freshman Kai Minor reached base with a two-out single and Ailana Agbayani drew a walk to put a pair of runners aboard for Abby Dayton, who roped a two-run triple down the right field line to cap off the six-run top of the first. However, the Huskies took advantage of OU's pitching woes, as starter Miali Guachino surrendered back-to-back home runs to Jadyn Glab and Alexis Deboer to give two runs right back to Washington in the bottom of the first. Parker then hit a solo homer in the second, and the Sooners added three more home runs in the third, including two-run shots from Pickering and Ailana Agbayani, and a two-run blast from Parker for her third homer of the day.
