Columbus, Ga. - Oklahoma's Kami Keiter pitched a no-hitter through five innings and the No. 10 Sooners powered to a 3-0 win over No. 7 Cal State Fullerton in the NFCA Leadoff Classic in Columbus, Ga., on Sunday morning.

OU (7-2) broke a scoreless game in the top of the fourth when senior shortstop Kelli Braitsch hit a two-run single. The Sooners added another run in the top of the seventh when Keiter tripled and was plated by freshman April Valdez to secure the 3-0 victory.

Keiter improved to 7-1 on the season allowing just one hit, six walks and struck out nine Titan batters.

CS-Fullerton pitcher Jodie Cox took the loss and dropped to 3-4. Cox gave up three hits, walked seven and struck out 10 Oklahoma bats.
