Softball

Our Softball Team, from Coaches down to the last bench player are tremendous and have been for years.

Who is the best coach ever at OU? Gasso is challenging Wilkinson for number 1 in my opinion!

Sounds like Jennings will be moving to SS.
I know a lot of speculation was that britto would move there but I just never saw it
 
Kinda weird that for all of OUs recruiting success, they have to move someone to a different position. Not bashing at all, just curious.

middle infielders play like positions ... this is not rare at all .. and Jennings was a SS (like a ton of these girls in High school) and would have been the starting SS at almost every team in the nation the last 3 years ..
 
Jayda was a SS in HS; the only lefty I’ve ever seen be able to play it & play it well. Just goes to show how good of a pure athlete she really is.
 
Bummer… down 2-3 5th inning to Washington. Winning streak in jeopardy ..
 
sooner magic travels, streak survives.
Yes, it does! I watched an exciting game last night, kept me up until well past my usual bedtime.

I had all but given up hope for an OU win when Washington still had the lead going into the sixth inning. But Sooner Magic tied the game, and two extra innings later struck again to keep the streak alive at 56 straight wins!
 
 
i’m sure they were feeling a lot of pressure to keep the streak alive. maybe more so for kelly, expecting her to slide right in and keep the machine churning out wins. hate to be cliche guy, but maybe this helps free up their minds and they stop giving up so many explosive innings and unusual errors. they’ve been down quite a few times, and had great resiliency in those games. including today. proud of them.
 
The second happiest person after the UL coach that UL won was probably Patty. Winning streaks become a burden after a while.
I think you hit the nail squarely on the head, MsProud. That streak, though historic, had become an anchor around the neck of the players and staff. Now it's over and it's my guess the Sooners will start playing like we all know they can.
 
Am I reading right that OU is not the number one ranked team anymore?

Lol what a joke
