Deal Dominates, Jennings Mashes as No. 1/1 Sooners Blank RV/RV SDSU
February 24, 2024 | Softball
CATHEDRAL CITY, Calif. – Sophomore left-hander Kierston Deal fired a three-hitter and senior shortstop Tiare Jennings drove in four on a three-hit day as No. 1/1 Oklahoma shut out RV/RV San Diego State 7-0 on Saturday afternoon in Cathedral City.
The Sooners (12-0, 0-0 Big 12) earned their seventh shutout of 2024 and extended their NCAA-record winning streak to 65 games with the blanking of SDSU (8-6, 0-0 Mountain West).
Deal starred in the circle, showcasing her dynamic arsenal while improving to 2-0 with her second consecutive complete-game shutout. The left-hander struck out six and walked none while scattering three singles and hitting one batter. She retired 16 straight batters at one point, quieting the San Diego State lineup, and threw 56 strikes on her 86 pitches (65.1%). The shutout marks her first collegiate seven-inning shutout, as well as the Sooners' first seven-inning complete-game shutout of the spring.
Jennings enjoyed a 3-for-4 afternoon in the cleanup spot, driving in four runs and falling a triple shy of the cycle. Graduate catcher Kinzie Hansen (2-for-4) and freshman outfielder Kasidi Pickering (2-for-3) each added multi-hit efforts as part of a 12-hit day for the OU lineup.
Oklahoma opened the scoring in the bottom of the second. Following a successful double-steal executed by Rylie Boone and Maya Bland, aided by an obstruction call at third, Jayda Coleman smacked a two-run single into center.
Jennings added a towering two-run home run to center in the fifth, stretching the OU lead to 4-0. She promptly provided two more runs in the sixth with an RBI double laced into left-center and later scored on an Ella Parker single.
Eight different Sooners recorded a hit in the win, including the first collegiate knock for redshirt sophomore Hannah Coor.
OU closes its trip to California on Sunday, Feb. 25, with a 9 a.m. PT (11 a.m. CT) doubleheader against Seattle and Loyola Marymount. The games will be broadcast on FloSoftball, 107.7 FM The Franchise and 1560AM/103.3 FM The Franchise 2.
