No team in the country has hit more home runs than No. 1 Oklahoma, but the Sooners won their Big 12 tournament opener against Texas Tech with small ball over the long ball.
Oklahoma’s first five runs Friday afternoon came on just two hits. Shay Knighten smashed a 2-RBI double off the wall in the third inning, but before that OU crossed the plate three times on a sacrifice bunt and two wild pitches.
The Sooners beat the Red Raiders 8-0 in six innings. Junior left-hander Giselle Juarez was dominant in the circle for a third consecutive game.
