Kendall Wells is having a season for the ages. With the Sooners trailing 2-1 at the top of the fifth, Wells launched the 2-2 offering deep over the left field wall to give the Sooners the lead. Oklahoma would make it count with the 4-3 win to secure the series against the Longhorns. Wells 31st home run broke the freshman single-season home run record with a lot of softball to be played in 2026. Her home run came amidst a mini-slump against the Longhorns.
