OU Softball: Sooners Run Rule Arkansas

Seniors Georgia Casey and Shelby Pendley each hit two home runs as No. 5 Oklahoma (33-5) run-ruled Arkansas (14-25) in five innings, 10-1, Wednesday night.

With her two solo home runs, Pendley has 79 in her career, tying her for seventh on the NCAA Division I all-time list with Washington's Kristen Rivera (2002-05). Pendley has 60 homers in her time at Oklahoma and a team-best 19 this season. Wednesday was her 14th career multi-home run game.

Pendley was also the starting pitcher in the game and earned the win. In improving to 10-1 on the season, Pendley struck out three and walked three while allowing one unearned run on five hits to drop her season ERA from 2.89 to 2.64.

Casey enjoyed the second multi-homer game of her career. She hit a grand slam in the first inning and added a two-run shot in the fourth. They were her first two home runs of the season and her six runs batted in were a career high.

In her four games since returning to the starting lineup after recovering from a thumb injury, Casey is 5-11 (.455) with three runs scored, two home runs, 11 RBI, one walk and no strikeouts. She is slugging 1.000 and getting on-base at a .500 clip.

The win was the ninth in a row for the Sooners, and it was their 18th run-rule win of the year. The Sooners are now 20-2 all-time against Arkansas with six straight wins in the series.
