Oklahoma Bashes Five Home Runs — Including Moon Shot From Kendall Wells

NORMAN — Oklahoma coach Patty Gasso has seen plenty of long home runs.

Jocelyn Alo, Lauren Chamberlain, Tiare Jennings and more hit plenty of moonshots, mostly at Marita Hynes Stadium.

But the one Kendall Wells hit in the fourth inning of Saturday's second game, a 10-0, five-inning win over Louisiana, was right up there.

"It was pretty far," Gasso said, smirking a bit. "It's funny because we had just had a conversation because I'm trying to give her signals and she doesn't look down at me, and I'm getting ticked off. I think that was a run-and-hit. So it's almost like, 'OK, you want to play that game, watch this.'

"She wins."

Wells' two-run home run, her nation's leading 18th of the season, traveled 304 feet to left center — believed to be the longest home run in Love's Field history.

The Sooners hit eight home runs over their two wins Saturday to move to 99 on the season in just their 24th game.

The 2021 Sooners, who set an NCAA record with 161 home runs, needed 36 games to reach 100 — the fastest in NCAA history.

Earlier in the day. OU beat Abilene Christian 8-0 in six innings.

The Sooners have won 11 consecutive games — the last 10 in run-rule fashion.

In the nightcap, the Sooners hit five home runs, including two from Ella Parker.

OU has won 11 consecutive games, with their last 10 all coming in run-rule fashion.

Wells offered a "maybe" when asked if that was the longest home run she'd ever hit.

"I don't know," Wells said. "I feel like I've hit a couple maybe that felt like that one off the bat, but it felt good."

Ailana Agbayani said that she'd seen Wells hit balls even farther in practice.

"I feel like I always see her hitting home runs like that," Agbayani said. "... There was one time at practice that was definitely (longer). It was probably into our parking lot."

Parker got the scoring started early in the second game, blasting her ninth home run of the season in the first after Kasidi Pickering led off the inning with a double down the right field line.

Parker's towering 210-foot home run came on a 1-1 pitch.

The Sooners extended the lead on Pickering's 212-foot, three-run home run to left in the second.

Agbayani drew a walk to start the inning and after an out, Abby Dayton beat out an infield single that bounded off Louisiana pitcher Sage Hoover.

Parker then made it back-to-back home runs with a 261-foot shot to center.

Parker joined Wells and Gabbie Garcia as Oklahoma players to hit at least 10 home runs this season.

The Sooners have hit back-to-back home runs eight times this season.

Garcia nearly added to her total later in the second, but it bounced off the outfielder's glove and back into the park to give Garcia a double.

The Sooners moved into run-rule territory in the fourth on Wells' home run.

Wells turned on Julianne Tipton's 2-1 pitch and crushed it fully out of the stadium.

It also gave her Wells national lead in home runs, breaking what had been a tie with UCLA's Megan Grant. The Bruins play later Saturday.

The home run was McDaniel's seventh of the season and second on the day.

Kai Minor went 0 for 3 to snap her 17-game hitting streak.

Audrey Lowry threw four scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and walking none with five strikeouts to improve to 11-1.

Freshman Berkley Zache worked a scoreless fifth to end the game.

The Sooners (22-2) will take on the same two teams Sunday, playing Louisiana at 12:30 p.m. and Abilene Christian at 3 p.m. at Love's Field.
