Jordy Bahl perfect, Tiare Jennings homers twice as Oklahoma beats Cal-State Fullerton 10-0

Jordy Bahl throws six innings of perfect ball and Tiare Jennings homers twice as the Oklahoma Sooners beat Cal-State 10-0.

Jordy Bahl’s stellar start to her first season with the Oklahoma Sooners somehow got even better as she threw a perfect game in the Sooners 10-0 win over Cal State Fullerton on Friday afternoon.

On a day when the world was watching in suspense every time Jocelyn Alo took to the plate, it was the true freshman sensation who stole the show.

After throwing 2.2 perfect innings in her debut, this time she was perfect through six innings as Oklahoma garnered another run-rule win, their ninth on the season. Bahl and the Oklahoma Sooners have still not allowed an earned run through their 11th game of the season. Bahl’s 11 strikeouts mark the second time she’s reached double-digits this season after recording 14 against No. 3 UCLA last weekend.

In her dominant performance, Bahl allowed just one batter to get a ball out of the infield, a fly out to keep her day perfect.

Tiare Jennings led off the game with her sixth home run of the season and the Sooners stayed in control throughout. Jennings was 2 for 3 from the lead off spot with another home run later in the game with two RBIs. Jennings is now tied with Jocelyn Alo for the team lead in home runs in 2022. Alo was 0-2 with two walks on the day as Cal-State was reluctant to pitch to her on the day.

Jayda Coleman had a home run and three RBIs and Lynzie Elam notched a home run and two RBIs.

The Sooners are underway in their second game of the day against Long Beach State and are already up 3-0 after Grace Lyons launched a two-run home run in the top of the first.

How to watch, stream, listen to OU Softball in the Mary Nutter Classic this weekend

Looking to watch OU softball build on their 10-0 start in the Mary Nutter Classic, here’s how you can watch or listen to this weekend’s games.

The Oklahoma Sooners travel to Cathedral City, Calif. for a five-game set in the Mary Nutter Classic. 10-0 on the season, the Sooners look to continue their dominant start to the 2022 season as they look to repeat as national champions.

Heading into the weekend, senior Jocelyn Alo is tied with former Sooners great Lauren Chamberlain for the NCAA all-time home run record. With five chances to pull ahead, there’s a great chance for Alo to make the record her own before the Sooners return home for their home opener against Minnesota on March 7.

The Sooners will play their first game of the weekend on Friday at 2:30 p.m. Central Standard Time against Cal State Fullerton and will follow that up with a game against Long Beach State.

On Saturday, Oklahoma will take on No. 8/10 Arizona at noon and then will play No. 17/17 Tennessee immediately after. The Sooners will close up the weekend series on Sunday with a matchup with Utah at 11 a.m. Central Standard Time.

E.J. Anosike transfers to Cal State Fullerton

E.J. Anosike to play for Titans after one season at UT.

Former Tennessee basketball player E.J. Anosike has transferred to Cal State Fullerton.

Anosike, a 6-foot-7 forward, played one season for the Volunteers as a graduate transfer from Sacred Heart.

He is able to play for Cal State Fullerton after the NCAA is allowing for an extra year of eligibility for student-athletes during the coronavirus pandemic.

Anosike appeared in 22 games, including 15 Southeastern Conference contests, for Tennessee during the 2020-21 season. He recorded 22 offensive rebounds and scored a season-high nine points in the Vols’ victory over Saint Joseph’s.

Anosike is the brother of former Lady Vol basketball player Nicky Anosike, who is the girls basketball head coach at Anderson County High School in Clinton, Tennessee.
