The Vikings had a 22-24 record this year and got to the tournament by winning the Horizon League Tournament. They tied for third in the regular season. I don't recognize any of their opponents being NCAA Tournament teams. They are coached by Amy...

I looked at Cleveland St on a softball website. They played no one in the top 50 (they did have a game against North Carolina St canceled) and were 0-6 against teams in the top 100. All their victories were against teams ranked 200 and below.
For what it’s worth, D1 Softball’s Bracketology - I think this is largely done by Eric Lopez - PBP voice for UCF, podcast host of In the Circle.

Here is the Box Score from that game against Boston U.
I cant believe that the attendance was only 595 people. The place was packed. I guess there must have been that many fans standing outside of the stadium in addition to what is listed.
The setting was set well. It was OU vs Texas in the Big 12 Final. The last one in their last season in the conference before they exit to the SEC. The rest of the Big 12 had to be happy and sad.
OU was the underdog ? It seemed that way. They were...

Well, maybe these ladies really can turn it on when the lights shine the brightest - and perhaps as important, perhaps the pressure led to :horns: defensive miscues. After all my fretting about a team-wide slump at the plate & concerns about the...
Favorite quote from Patty, “our goal is to play our best in Loves Field. I don’t think we’ve done that yet”.

Patty is SPOT ON about not playing their best at Love's. I wonder if the seniors (long term ones, not the one-year transfers) are still not comfortable there and miss Hynes where they were unbeatable. I sure hope they can return to dominance at the...
Did the way they rushed and moved into Love's Field mess our team up? I think maybe we would have been better off just sticking with Marita Hynes and waiting until '25 to play in Love's. Wish the money men would have been reasonable and just said...

I agree with all responses. I'm glad the seniors get to go out being the inaugural Loves field bunch, but I am 99% confident the way they had to play in/out of the new field really messed with their 3 year mojo/rhythm/routine going into this year....
BTW, Oklahoma hit its 100th HR of the season last night (Parker solo HR in bottom of the 1st.)
That is the fifth straight full-season that the Sooners have hit a 100 or more HRs. It is also the 8th season since the 2012 season when Chamberlain...
The Oklahoma Sooners played very well on Friday as they defeated BYU 13-2 behind a five-person attack that showed the depth of the Sooners. The win moves the Sooners into the Big 12 Finals vs Texas who defeated Baylor 14-3 in the late game last...

Keeney and Maxwell do seem like the best choices available for tonight's matchup with Tejas. I like that Karlie can consistently get the batter to hit into ground outs. But once in awhile one of those ground balls finds a hole in the infield, and...
Okay, going into 4th inning, we're up 5-0. Deal still pitching.. First batter pops out to Coleman. 2nd batter grounds out Brito to first base. What is the typical velocity on a fast ball for Deal? Third batter walks. 4th batter flies out to...

Add 4 runs for OU. Hannah Coor batting with no outs. Coor hits a single up the middle and now we're up 10-0. Lillio batting. She flies out deep, for first out. Bland is batting. Is she related to Bobby (Blue) Bland? She walks. Hodge at bat. Sac fly,...
In their Quarter-Finals game at Devon-Hall of Fame Park in OKC, the Oklahoma Sooners won over the Kansas Jayhawk 10-1 in a 5 inning run-rule win. The Oklahoma Sooner offense showed up in the game as OU collected 10 hits in 4 innings along with 4...

I also think Deal gets the call today. And for whatever reason, it does seem that May is better than Deal coming out of the pen. But she's done that for years now, with a good deal of success. I could also see SJ getting a few pitches in if...
In the three other games of the Big 12 Quarterfinals on Thursday, there was one upset (BYU), one run-rule win (Texas) and one 1-run win (Baylor) outside of the Sooner win in the second run-rule win of the quarterfinals.
In the first game of the...

Oklahoma Sooner Softball Player, Ella Parker, has been selected as on of the Top 10 Division 1 players who have advanced in the selection of the 2024 TUCCI/NFCA DIVISION I FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR Award. The narrowing of the Top 25 players down to the...

Arizona SMOTHERED Washington, and UCLA 6-0 over ASU!
I'm not a softball expert by any means but here is my theory:
Obviously, Jordy leaving left us in a huge bind as far as pitching goes. I know you recruit pitchers every year just like you should recruit quarterbacks every year. But when you have...

I appreciate the time and effort that you spent to develop the stats and to post them. Many kudos to you.
What you stats indicate are that the two series against Texas and Oklahoma State are statistical anomalies. They just happened to happened...
...hopefully portending a little spark heading to the post season.
7-2 bottom of the 6th. :cool:

I think our 2 freshmen might be our best players right now
They're confident, young and hungry for success, not worried about their entering the Brave New World, and not feeling like they have done it all, either...and yes, talented!
