Megan Grant's record 42nd home run highlights UCLA's 11-0 rout of Arkansas at WCWS

On Friday in Oklahoma City, Megan Grant hit a record-breaking 42nd home run, leading UCLA to an 11-0 rout of Arkansas in five innings at the Women's College World Series.
Fifth-Seeded Arkansas , playing in the WCWS for the first time, was eliminated after losing back-to-back games; eighth-seeded UCLA advanced to an elimination game Sunday.
Pitcher Taylor Tinsley allowed three hits and struck out two in the win, while Aleena Garcia, Soo-Jin Berry, and Jolyna Lamar each contributed home runs to the offensive barrage.
The victory marked UCLA's largest margin of victory in a shutout at the WCWS after 150 games, extending the program's Division I single-season records for runs, home runs, and RBIs.
Grant's 68 home runs over two seasons ties the all-time Division I record, with the Bruins facing the loser between Texas Tech and Tennessee in Sunday's elimination game.
