Oklahoma shuts down Baylor in World Series opener

By Nathan Keil | Sports Editor

Playing just 30 minutes from its campus in Norman, Okla., No. 10 Oklahoma certainly felt at home.

Junior center fielder Nicole Pendley hit a three-run home run and junior Paige Parker limited the Lady Bears to just one run on five hits in six innings as Oklahoma bested conference rival No. 15 Baylor 6-3 on Thursday night.

The Lady Bears did add two more in the seventh inning off of junior Paige Lowary but it was not enough to produce another come from behind win.

Oklahoma found its offensive groove early on against Baylor senior Kelsee Selman, tagging her for four runs in the first inning, something that head coach Glenn Moore believed to be the difference in the game.
