Sooners Clutch Late on Day One at Mary Nutter

Oklahoma Defeats Cal State Fullerton in Eight Innings, Run-Rule (RV) San Diego State

CATHEDRAL CITY, Calif. — No. 4 Oklahoma (10-1) expanded its winning streak to nine games with wins in two different styles Thursday, Feb. 19 on a gusty opening day at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic. 

Allyssa Parker homered with two outs in the bottom of the seventh to force extra innings and set up a walk-off RBI single from Gabbie Garcia in a 6-5 eight-inning win against Cal State Fullerton (4-7). 

OU pounced on (RV) San Diego State State (8-3) in its night cap, getting two home runs from Kendall Wells and one each from Isabela Emerling and Sydney Barker in a 10-2 five-inning win against the Aztecs.

Due to the late finish of the preceding Auburn vs. UCLA game, OU's first pitch against San Diego State wasn't until 9:50 p.m. PT. The run-rule victory marked Oklahoma's seventh on the season and sixth in seven games.

Sooner hurlers Audrey Lowry and Miali Guachino stayed undefeated in the process. Lowry improved to 7-0 and Guachino upped her record to 3-0 with five innings of work, fanning eight.

No. 4 Oklahoma 6, Fullerton 5 (8 inn.)
Nelly McEnroe-Marinas doubled in Garcia for the 1-0 lead in the first, but Cal State Fullerton scored the next four runs to take a 4-1 lead in the third. 

OU got runners at first and second with nobody out to start the third inning, but the Titans coaxed a double play to slow down the Sooner momentum. Wells responded with an important two-run home run one batter later, cutting into the deficit.

Emerling tied the game with her fourth home run in six calendar days, tying things at 4-4. 

Both teams pitched zeros until consecutive doubles gave CSUF the 5-4 lead in the top of the seventh. Down to the final out, Parker clubbed a game-tying home run to right center.

In extras, Ailana Agbayani fielded a ground ball and fired home in time to get the go-ahead run in the top of the eighth. 

Gabbie Garcia walked the Sooners off with victory with a two-out, 3-2, RBI base knock off the wall in left, scoring Tia Milloy for the win.

The Sooners set the tone early with Wells giving the Sooners a 2 -0 lead in the first on her first homer of the second game. Guachino continued to push for the momentum by fanning the side in the second session. 

OU did most of its damage in the second, scoring five runs on five hits including a solo shot from Emerling and RBI knocks from Kasidi Pickering and Wells.

San Diego State scratched a pair of runs across with a home run, but homers from Wells and Sydney Barker finished the game in five.
