I understand the circumstances, but it’s weird that a 1-2 weekend is seen as so successful.  Not that it shouldn’t, it’s just counterintuitive to typical sports stuff. 

That's true.  But after, what, 23 losses to OU in a row?  Winning 1 was always going to be called successful.  Plus even though we lost Thursday, we were very competitive against THE elite team.

Also we moved UP in some of the polls

D1 Softball: 14 -> 14
Softball America: 13 -> 14
ESPN: 18 -> 16
USA Today / Coaches: 18 -> 16

Also a very interesting discussion going on the Ultimate College Softball forum:  If you are in the RPI 14-17 range, do you even want to be seeded 16th and hosting, just to likely end up getting shitblasted in Norman?

If Kenny G comes in he should take a long hard look at keeping Craig. He'll have his pitching coach in his wife, and if he doesn't keep Craig, he should look at the Ag hitting coach who we just got swept by. Chris!
 
aggy wanting KennyG.   Very possible,  doubt if OKSt could match salary,  his wife (Rachel Fox)  aggy alumna from Houston area.
Would be more concerned if we were not moving to SEC.    B12 softball will be in decline.

He’s married to Rachel Fox??? The one who pitched here before transferring to aggy? 20 years his junior??

😊

I know you are being facetious 😊 and knew,    but others may not know.

 

A native of Los Alamitos, Calif., Gajewski is married to Rachel, a Texas A&M softball alumnna, and has two children, Preston and Logan Gajewski.

Hey guys, I know it's a long shot but would anyone know someone that I could contact for group tickets? My daughters birthday is coming up and she wants her 10U team to go to the Texas vs Baylor softball game with her on May 7.

CDC on Twitter. Let him hook you up on that

It’s a step in the right direction….beats being swept and/or run-ruled each game.

No TV for Friday game @ OKSt.    Only B12 game not being televised.    Poor job B12 office/ESPN    50% chance of tstorms for Sat night game,  24 mpw winds.

Key series,  argument could be made equal or more important than OU. 

Iowa St hosts OU.   Need them to take 1 game like they did vs OKSt.

Texas vs OKSt    Fri 6PM,  Sat 6:30PM (ESPN2), Sun 1PM (ESPN+) 

 

Starting pitching and defense are important parts of OSU's success. Left-hander Kelly Maxwell leads the Big 12 and ranks second nationally with 12.9 strikeouts per seven innings and ranks in the top 10 nationally in fewest hits allowed per game (fourth – 3.19) and shutouts (seventh – seven). 

Her 1.04 earned run average ranks 11th nationally and in her last start, she matched a school record with 18 strikeouts in a seven-inning game against Kansas. Right-hander Miranda Elish has won her last nine starts and has logged two no-hitters this season. Defensively, the Cowgirls lead the Big 12 and rank fourth nationally with a .982 fielding percentage.

Notable Streaks and Trends
• OSU has won 17 of its last 18 and 23 of its last 25.
• OSU has won eight of its last 18 via run-rule.
• OSU has outscored Big 12 opposition by a combined score of 89-19 through 12 games, including three shutouts and four run-rule victories in that stretch.
• OSU has out-hit its opponents in 34 of its 41 games this season.
• OSU has kept opponents to three runs or less in 22 of their last 23 and 35 of their last 41.
• The Cowgirls have been ranked in the NFCA poll in each of their last 182 games, dating back to the start of the 2019 season.
• Miranda Elish is batting .457, slugging .914 and leads all Cowgirls in home runs (five) and RBI (20) against Big 12 opponents.

So how did Lauren Burke (.261) suddenly make an appearance in a most important series ?

She did have a hit but Smith or Cimusz should have at least pinch hit especially in the extra innings for their power.    Whitaker another possibility.

Great game, Hailey  !

I wasn't sure a chick could be described as gigantic douchebag until I saw Jordy Bahl and her theatrics.  Plus, she's a cheater.  Perfect for OU.
