In front of 8,798 fans in the Hall of Fame Stadium in OKC, the Sooners won over the Baylor Bears 8-1 with a big 5th inning when the Sooners scored 7 runs. The Sooners that helped nail down the victory were Kelly Maxwell (Winning pitcher), Tiare...

I noticed Ludlam had a more traditional bat grip, but with the 2 fingers still heavily taped, she just isn’t going to generate power.
Like I said - Lud has plenty of power even with 2 heavily taped fingers… :D
Before the season began, I thought the Baylor Bears might be one of the teams to challenge both Texas and the Sooners for a game or a series. They would be having players coming off injuries--supposedly healed up and had some transfers and freshmen...

Thank you for the stats, '56!
The facts tell the story better than my perceptions. This is exactly what I mean when I say the stats can be a comfort. Looks like OU is doing very well hitting the ball in many different situations.
How about UCLA at Washington
Here is where we find out if there is any fight in the Bruins to try to take back the last season of the PAC12. Washington and Stanford were in most peoples minds to vie for the conference. The Bruins stand at 17-6...

Four Softball games of note on Wednesday 3/20
First up is the South Carolina at Clemson game. SC 6 Clemson 4 in 12 innings.
Vawter outpitched a trio of Clemson pitchers over 12 innings as Vawter pitched a CG Win. Spencer, Millie Thompson and...
For a very long time, I have thought that RPI as a standard to determine a teams value was woefully inadequate for many reasons. Today, I opened my D1 Softball subscription and I found something announced by 6-4-3 Sports and D1 Softball called DSR...

I'm wondering how far into the season we need to be to have faith in these numbers. This week, OU is in 2nd place. Last week we were in 4th. The week before that, we were in 8th. Our only loss is to #32 Lousiana. #1 LSU has two losses to #22 Ole...
The 27-1 Oklahoma Sooners will host UT-Arlington in Love's Field for a single game on Wednesday night in a 6 PM first pitch game. UT-Arlington is 10-16 on the season but is 7-3 in their last 10 games. The Oklahoma Sooners have won their last 9 games...
So, is Ludlam OK after that injury (?) to her finger (hand) sliding back into 2B in the 2nd inning, I think?
Heard it was bandaged up and she finished the game at catcher.
Any aftereffects?
Thanks

Maybe Deal and May need to start taking batting practice so we can use the DP for her.
This post is intended to provide a 'halfway look' at the Sooners for 2024 to see where they are and what we can expect the second half of the season. Oklahoma has played 28 or 60-ish games. so this is not exactly halfway, but pretty close and I have...

Thanks 'oufanforever' for posting that. I saw it earlier but I could not get it to play on my phone and then forgot about finding it.
1.7 is a very good time for a 3rd catcher. I was a catcher, my son was a catcher. I know that number pretty well....
Kelly Maxwell won the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week and the NFCA Coaches Pitcher of the Week awards this week. Tiare Jennings won the Big 12 Player of the Week.

Very normal events can occur in a Sooner softball game that can make my heart race a little faster, hold my breath a bit longer, maybe even sweat just a bit.

I like Plank. Every announcer makes mistakes. Go to ESPN+ and watch one of the Texas Tech games. Tell me Plank isn't better than that guy. And it isn't just Tech, you can say that about many college softball announcers.
The Oklahoma Sooners Softball team playing on Sunday in the coldest weather of the weekend to start the game, posted a 11-1 win over Tech to complete the 3-game sweep and to outscore the Red Raiders in the 3-game series 40-3. Win might not have...

AIs are perfect. We humans are not. Give me human imperfection with effort, passion, and emotion over stale, dull perfection any day.

LSU lost again to Ole Miss on Monday night 9-2. LSU was not able to curb the damage in the 5th inning as Ole Miss scored 4 runs in the inning to take a 8-2 lead. LSU had to bring in Berzon to relieve Lynch in the inning. LSU scored one more run on...
With 10 players graduating at the end of this season, I expect that Patty will hit the portal for a significant number of players. I recognize that the incoming class will have a significant number of potential contributors. However there are a lot...

Given that there is no way to know who will be available in the portal, I think Patty could look seriously for a catcher, 2 pitchers, and several infielders. Need to find quality players who can hit and have power and can play defense. With the loss...
By now you have probably heard that the Sooners won today 15-2 and that the Sooners scored 12 runs in the 1st inning to open the game. In the inning the Sooners sent 15 batters to the plate and the first 12 of them reached base without an out being...

He seemed to get whinier as the weekend went along. What's more likely, 3 different umpires being the cause of almost 30 walks in three games, or Texas Tech pitchers who want to get people out without throwing the ball over the plate?
Here we are moving into the bottom of the 3rd inning vs txtech, and have a 2-0 lead. We've had maybe 4 long drives, but they have all come up short, and caught by the tech outfielders. May pitching well, but bats are a bit anemic so far.

I get what you’re saying about defense - but there were no OU errors when TT was threatening to score a bunch (3rd, I think) - TT just had several soft hits just off the tip of our gloves or just between 2 infielders.
Nothing fancy here--I just don't have the time any more to put together better preview opinions so I will leave the details and charts to OUBeliever and AustinTXSooner--but here's my quick thoughts on Taco Tech and the weather:
Tech is a veteran...

I'm guessing on offense, we might have become too relaxed, due to the big lead we have.
The Oklahoma Sooners traveled to cool and windy Lubbock to play their first game of the weekend against Texas Tech and won the game 14-0 a the Sooners scored in 5 of the 7 innings. Kelly Maxwell lead the effort from the circle as M-Max allowed 2...
