Gameday

[coeSooner81]

Sooner softball takes the field at 10:30 in their chase for a 4-peat.

 

[coeSooner81]

Freshman Kasidi Pickering's 1st plate appearance is a grand slam 4-0 after the first.

 

[coeSooner81]

13-0 final

 

[Raysor]

Sooners lead 3-0, Maxwell pitching in T5. She's given up one hit, I think to the first batter of the game. Duke was prety good last year. Maxwell got a strikeout to end the inning while I was typing. Headed to B5, Pinch hits in B3 when OU scored their three runs, produced runs two and three. Jennings started the scoring in the inning with a solo homer to center.

 

[Raysor]

Pickering, who had one of the two pinch hit rbi's in the third hit a grand slam in game one for OU's first homer of the season. Torres was the other.

 

[Raysor]

It got interesting in T7. After one out, a close pitch ball four, a bloop hit, and a first pitch HBP got the tying runs on base for Duke. Karlie Keeney pitched the sixth and seventh for OU. She got a called strike three for the second out, and a roller to short where Jennings got the force at third to end the game.

The Sooners started the season with two shutouts, and won game two 3-0. Pickering had six RBI's in the double header. She had only two at bats in game two, both singles.

And frosh Pickering’s first ab was the GS, right ?

 

[Raysor]

Correct.

6 rbi's in two games.

Losing to Washington tonight

 

[coeSooner81]

After 5 its 3-2 Washington, OU 4-20 at the plate 2 errors and 7 runners left on base. Not looking good.

 

[coeSooner81]

tied 3-3 in the 6th, but Washington has runners on 1st and 3rd, one out

 

[coeSooner81]

Bats are cold tonight, 3-3 bottom of 7. Need some defense to extend the game.

 

[coeSooner81]

All 3 transfer pitchers suck.

 

[johnfoto]

56 straight!

 

[maize_N_brew]

All 3 transfer pitchers suck.

I haven't seen much from them either. I hope that they can get it turned around. We will probably see Washington in Omaha. I couldn't make it up for the end of the game.

 

[coeSooner81]

That comment came after several old fashions, so may not be warranted. They did struggle last night, Maxwell (OSU transfer) did pitch well. 3 errors and a couple of questionable calls by the boys in blue made this game closer than it should have been.

Just rewatched the game, KD was good for the 1st inning, but went downhill from there.

 

[joebidensmask]

Fortunately Patti has a nice bullpen
KD will have her share and shine or sit

Two hail Barrys and aspirin for the of’s
Is your coe the Iowa coe ?

 

[Raysor]

Playing four games in three days the first week of the season will challenge any staff. The girl from Liberty looked pretty good. Not sure about the Wisconsin lady. I suspect she throws really hard.

I don't think May will ever be someone who can throw two games in a weekend against quality competition. We are going to need six pitchers.
