Matt Oberste and Anthony Hermelyn each collected three RBIs as the Sooners coasted to a 10-4 victory in sunny but 46-degree weather. After Hofstra scored an unearned run in the first inning, the Sooners took the lead for good in the bottom half with four runs. OU handed three runs in the fourth inning and three more in the seventh against a Hofstra club that used five pitchers.

OU starting pitcher Dillon Overton had an exceptional outing. He gave up two hits and one walk in seven innings. Overton struck out seven.

The Sooners and Pride continue the series with a doubleheader on Saturday. The first game starts at 1 p.m.

OSU WINS OPENER

Holliday, a former OSU catcher who replaced Frank Anderson during the offseason, watched his club score two runs in the top of the ninth inning to take the lead, and then reliever Brendan McCurry secure his first win of the season.

Randy McCurry had two hits and three RBIs for the Cowboys, who play New Mexico again Saturday and Sunday.
