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.

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.
