Elam, Bahl Collect Weekly Honors

NORMAN — Oklahoma redshirt senior Lynnsie Elam and freshman Jordy Bahl collected Big 12 conference weekly honors for their performances at the Hall of Fame Classic over the weekend.

Elam was named conference co-player of the week after an explosive weekend in OU's sweep in OKC.

Elam hit four home runs, including three in the finale vs. Iowa. In the game, she finished 3-for-3 with all three hits being blasts, two coming in consecutive at-bats, and eight RBIs. The three single-game homers tied a program record, only having been done five times. The senior captain finished the weekend batting .556 (5-for-9) with five extra-base hits and 12 RBIs for a 2.000 slugging clip. Elam struck out just once on the weekend and held a perfect fielding percentage in five games started behind the plate.

Bahl continued to impress as she collected two wins in the circle in OU's five-game set to earn Big 12 Co-Pitcher of the Week.

Bahl threw her second career individual no-hitter on Sunday vs. Iowa, striking out eight and surrendering just two walks. On the weekend, Bahl K'ed 18 batters and allowed just one run on three hits and two walks in three appearances and 11.0 IP. Opponents batted just .081 against the Sooner righty.

Elam collects her second career Big 12 weekly honor and first since February 18, 2020, while Bahl earned her third conference honor of her freshman season, having won outright or a share of three of the six Big 12 Pitcher of the Week awards.

The No. 1 Sooners match up against No. 8/13 Kentucky on Tuesday night in Lexington, Ky. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. CT and can be seen on SEC Network and heard on the radio via 107.7 The Franchise in Oklahoma and nationwide on the TuneIn app.
