The Sooners scored in every inning — one in the first, two in the second, four in the third and five in the fourth — in outclassing a UMBC squad that didn’t belong on the same field with the best team in the country.
Freshman first baseman Grace Lyons homered to left center in the second inning, widening the OU Flead to 3-0
Senior second baseman Caleigh Clifton and junior center fielder Nicole Mendes both hit two-run home runs in OU’s four-run third inning as the Sooners opened up a 7-0 lead.
