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.

Two former members of the Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball team, Jaylen Forbes and Raymond Hawkins, have announced where they will be playing for the 2020 season.

Smith, a guard who just finished his freshman season, was a player Alabama fans were familiar with in his lone year with the program. He stood at 6 feet 4 inches tall. In his time with the Crimson Tide, Forbes averaged just over 10 minutes a game and a field goal percentage of 32%.

Forbes will be transferring to Tulane for his final year of eligibility.

Hawkins, a center who originally committed to the University of Buffalo, followed Nate Oats to Alabama and did not see much playing time, in his one season with the Crimson Tide, Hawkins played in six games.

The California native announced via Twitter that he will be transferring to Long Beach State.

These are the first two commits of Oats to leave Alabama during is time as head coach. However, he, nor the fans, seem to be worried as they look ahead to the top-20 recruiting class he has put together for the 2020 season.

Roll Tide Wire will keep you updated on all things Alabama basketball as the offseason continues!

The Sooners beat Bryant and Northern Iowa on Friday before dropping their first game of the season to Long Beach State 5-4 early Saturday. The Sooners bounced-back with a 6-4 extra-inning win over No. 4 Arizona Saturday night, and capped off the invitational with a run-rule win over NIU early Sunday.

After scoreless eighth and ninth innings, Snow scored the winning run after Grace Green smacked a ball into left field that was dropped.
