Oklahoma Sets NCAA Single-Season Home Run Record

Freshman Kendall Wells set the Sooners’ single-season mark with her 35th, closing in on the NCAA record.

Overview

Oklahoma beat No. 11 Georgia 10-2 in six innings Friday in Norman, a win that delivered the NCAA-record 162nd team homer and pushed the season total to 165.
Freshman Kendall Wells led off the second inning with her 35th, breaking Jocelyn Alo’s OU single-season record and moving within three of the 1995 NCAA mark of 37.
Gabbie Garcia launched two homers to reach 21, and Abby Dayton added a two-run shot as Oklahoma finished the night with four long balls.
Audrey Lowry worked six innings and allowed two earned runs with no walks and four strikeouts, improving OU to 44-6 overall and 16-3 in SEC play.
Depth drives the surge, with seven Sooners at 10-plus homers and five at 16 or more, and the win set up a final-week series at Texas A&M that could decide the SEC regular-season title.
