# SEC Morning Report: Oklahoma Phenom Shatters SEC Home Run Record **Published:** 2026-04-01 — **By:** Stacy Stanfield **Category:** daily-roundup — **Type:** daily-roundup **Source:** https://secscouts.com/news/oklahoma-freshman-kendall-wells-breaks-sec-home-run-record --- ### Sooner Freshman Makes History A new standard for power has been set in SEC softball. Oklahoma freshman Kendall Wells launched her 27th home run of the season Tuesday night, establishing a new single-season record for the Southeastern Conference. The historic three-run blast came during the sixth inning of the No. 3 Sooners' 12-3 run-rule victory over Wichita State. Wells broke the previous conference record in just the 37th game of her collegiate career, continuing a phenomenal debut season. The Sooners, who improved to 35-3, hit four home runs in the contest, bringing their NCAA-leading total to 137. With 17 games still remaining in the regular season, Wells is on pace to challenge not only the Oklahoma program record (34) but also the all-time NCAA single-season mark of 37 home runs. ### QUICK HITS * A record-setting crowd of 3,207 at Taylor Stadium watched the Missouri Tigers baseball team fall to the Kansas Jayhawks 11-8. Mizzou overcame a 6-0 deficit with a massive eight-run fourth inning, highlighted by freshman Blaize Ward's three-run triple, but couldn't hold the lead. The loss was the fifth straight for the Tigers. * On the softball diamond, the Missouri Tigers extended their winning streak to five games with an 8-5 victory over Missouri State. Freshman Abby Carr excelled on both sides, earning the win with 4.0 innings pitched while also going 3-for-4 at the plate with a two-run homer. * Several ranked SEC baseball teams secured midweek victories. No. 16 Alabama won its eighth straight game, a 4-3 decision over Jacksonville State, thanks to a go-ahead solo home run from Brady Neal in the ninth. No. 20 Texas A&M cruised past Sam Houston 16-2, and No. 4 Mississippi State defeated Grambling 12-0. * No. 2 Texas overcame an early 3-0 deficit to defeat Texas State 10-8. The Longhorns used a six-run sixth inning to secure their third consecutive comeback win and snap a four-game home losing streak to the Bobcats. * Kentucky Football continues to build its off-field staff under new head coach Will Stein, with the expected hiring of Erynn Love as Director of On-Campus Recruiting. Love previously worked at Tulsa, North Carolina, and Tennessee. ### PORTAL WATCH There was no new transfer portal activity across the SEC in the last 12 hours. ### RECRUITING BUZZ There were no new commitments to any SEC programs in the last 12 hours. ### GAMES TO WATCH There are no SEC games scheduled for Wednesday, April 1.
