Tiare Jennings has led the Oklahoma Sooners in RBIs in each of the last two seasons. A pretty incredible feat when you consider Jocelyn Alo was also in the lineup each of the last two seasons.
Jennings’ ability to hit for power, to all fields, and with runners in scoring position has her star continually shining brighter and brighter with each Sooner she drives in.
In Oklahoma’s series-opening 8-1 win over Texas, Jennings drove in four more runs and now has 35 on the season. She came through early, helping Oklahoma erase a 1-0 deficit in the bottom of the first when her RBI single brought home Jayda Coleman from third.
Then in the second, she did more damage, breaking the game open with a three-run bomb. And that provided all the run support Jordy Bahl would need.
In the sixth inning, Jennings nearly hit another home run, finding the top of the left field fence for a double. Haley Lee brought her in to make it 6-1 and Kinzie Hansen put the exclamation point on a dominant series-opening win with a two-run home run.
Jennings has been hot of late with four home runs and 13 RBIs in Oklahoma’s six games. The National Player of the Year contender is coming on strong for the Sooners as they hit their stride in conference play.
