Outfielder Abby Dayton wore the first pitch of the game, but Oklahoma stranded a pair of runners in the first. Sanders drew a two-out walk in the second, but the Sooners’ contact on pitches seemed to always find its way to a Cal State Fullerton glove.

It took a bit for OU softball’s offense to get going, but they finally did, as the Sooners started the season off with a 7-2 win over Cal State Northridge on Thursday in San Diego.

OU softball coach Patty Gasso and the third-ranked Sooners will go for their second doubleheader sweep in as many days Friday night when they visit Cal State Fullerton.

The Campbell transfer pitcher got the start for Patty Gasso’s No. 2-ranked Oklahoma Sooners, and she dominated Cal Baptist. Smith retired all 10 batters she faced in a relief appearance against Cal State Northridge on Thursday, and carried that streak through all five innings on Friday.
