Oklahoma Softball freshman Kasidi Pickering hit a grand slam in the bottom of the first inning to score the first runs of the Sooners' 2024 season at the 2024 Puerto Vallarta College Challenge on Feb. 8.

OU took a 4-0 lead. 

Playing in her first college softball game, Pickering made Utah Valley pay with a slam in what had begun as a solid inning for the Utah Valley. Utah Valley recorded two quick outs against No. 1 Oklahoma, only to allow four straight base runners before Pickering's grand slam.
