No. 6/5 Oklahoma (29-5) hit four home runs, including two from freshman Lea Wodach, as the Sooners overpowered Central Arkansas (23-10), 12-6, Tuesday night at Marita Hynes Field.

- Wodach went 3-4 at the plate with five runs driven in and two runs scored to set career highs in hits and RBI. It was the first multi-homer game of her career as she hit a two-run homer in the second inning and a three-run shot in the third to increase her season home run total to four.

- Senior Lauren Chamberlain went 3-3 at the plate, coming a home run short of being the first player in Sooners' history to hit for the cycle. She scored three runs and drove in one.

- Chamberlain led off the game with a walk. It was the 179th walk of her career, breaking the Big 12's all-time career walks record of 178 held by Texas' Taylor Hoagland (2010-13).

- Senior Shelby Pendley hit a two-run homer in the third inning. It was her 14th of the season, 55th at Oklahoma and the 74th of her career. She now has sole possession of 10th place on the all-time Division I home run list.

- Freshman Paige Parker got the win in relief to improve to 14-3 on the season. She struck out five batters in 3.1 scoreless innings and gave up just two hits. At the plate, Parker went 2-4 with a career-high four RBI, including her ninth home run of the season.
