NORMAN, Okla. -- Cameron Seitzer hit for the cycle and Tyler Ogle and Cale Ellis both hit grand slams as the No. 9 Sooners (21-3) cruised past visiting Arkansas Pine Bluff, 26-3, on Tuesday.

The Lions (3-13) jumped on top 2-0 with a two-run homer by Barry McDonley but OU countered with 10 runs in the second inning and never looked back. The Sooners sent 16 hitters to the plate during the frame that featured a triple and a home run by Seitzer and Ogle's second grand slam of the year. OU also batted through the order in the fifth and seventh innings with five and six runs scored, respectively.

That was all reliever Michael Rocha would need to record the victory for OU. Rocha tossed three innings and allowed one run off one hit to improve to 4-0. Rocha was the first of three OU relievers on the night as Jarrett Semler and Jason Chowning each tossed two scoreless frames. Anthony Collazo made his first career start and allowed two runs off the homer in the first.

Oklahoma had a season high in runs and tied a season-high with 19 hits (also had 19 vs. Mississippi State) as 10 different Sooners collected base knocks and six turned in multiple-hit performances. The runs were the most scored since the 29 plated in a victory at Kansas State on March 22, 2009.

The Lions' Gregory Daiville (0-4) allowed eight runs off four hits and did not make it past the first inning.

Casey Johnson was one of the six Sooners to have more than one hit on Tuesday and the junior extended his hitting streak to a career-high 12 game after the single in the third. Cale Ell

The Sooners' three home runs tied a season high, established twice this season (March 26 at Nebraska and Feb. 21 at San Diego State), and recorded their ninth multiple-home run game of the season.Ellis finished with a career-high seven RBIs.

OU continues the five-game home stand on Wednesday against the Lions at 7 p.m. The game will air on the Sooner Sports Network, KREF 1400 AM, with Chuck Kelly and Damon Minor calling the action. The contest will also be simulcast on Cox Channel 3 in Oklahoma City and Tulsa.

Following the midweek game, No. 7 Texas comes to town for a three-game set starting on Thursday, April 1.
