There is no other way to describe what the Oklahoma Sooners did to the No. 1 UCLA Bruins on Sunday than utter annihilation. The Sooners hit six home runs and Alex Storako dominated the circle on their way to a 14-0 run rule win over UCLA.
After going empty in the first inning and having a base-heavy opportunity, the Sooners started the second with four home runs, including back-to-back home runs from Alyssa Brito and Jayda Coleman. Haley Lee and Tiare Jennings bombed two-run homers to go 6-0 by the second frame.
They kept the score going in the third inning with two runs on a Tiare Jennings RBI double. They plated two more heats in the fourth on Kinzie Hansen’s first home run of the season, a double. Hansen hit a triple home run in the fifth to continue her incredible run since her debut on Friday.
As dominant as the Sooners were from the plate, so was Alex Storako from the circle, holding the UCLA Bruins to just three hits in five innings. She also had five strikeouts and didn’t allow a walk in her best performance since joining Oklahoma.
After losing 4-3 to Baylor in Waco a week ago, the Sooners fell back to No. 2 in the nation and questions about their status as the team to beat in 2023 began to swirl.
Well, those questions can be put to bed after the Sooners dominated a UCLA team that entered the game undefeated with victories over Florida and Florida State.
It was an incredible performance that propelled the Sooners back to the country No. 1 and social media buzzed during the dominant 14-0 performance.
