Finney pitched the fourth in game two. Threw 14 pitches, 13 for strikes. Had an infield hit, two strikeouts, and a grounder to short.
 
Finney had two more strikeouts in the fifth as OU wins in a run-ruled 9-0 game against Radford. Brit also ended the top of the fifth for OU with a grounder to third. So, she is one for three at the plate this year.
 
Tech beat Iowa State, 5-3, after losing to Iowa State last night. It was the first Iowa State win in the Big Twelve.

Texas 5 Oklahoma State 3

Kansas 2 Baylor 2 in the fourth. Baylor won 3-0 yesterday.

Baylor won 3-2 on a sac fly in the seventh.

Our guys played solid and consistent. And confident. Was hoping for run rule. Didn't come - though in the next game against Radford it did. ?

Did they ever! This team just keeps growing and growing. It's amazing to think this starting team is mostly freshmen/sophomores!

I think the biggest issue is playing focused every game. That's what Patty is teaching them. The Arkie game should have been run-rule too and that was why Patty wasn't too happy after that game. When they are all focused, look out!
 
Jayden struck out twelve in a complete game 2-0 win over Lipscomb. Pendley left after being hit in the nose with a pitch. She was down for a while. Romero took the day off, except that she came on as the DH late. Arnold and Hatfield each singled home runners for the two runs. Jayden is now 7-0.

Outstanding game by Jayden!
 
OU 9, 9, 2

Tennessee 0
Radford 0
Lipscomb 0

Since Bama took two of three from Kentucky this weekend, Bama and Tennessee are now tied for third at 12-6. Florida and Auburn are both 15-3.
 
Why wasn't the Tennessee game a run rule? First, Ou was up 8-0 and then OU was up 9-0 and they keep playing - all 7 innings. ?
 
Because we scored the eighth and ninth runs in the top of the seventh inning. That meant Tennessee got to bat in the bottom of the inning. You get to complete the inning if you are the home team.
 
No TV, of course, and I didn't get to listen to the radio broadcast, but Chestnut's stat line was really outstanding. The freshman gave up just three hits, struck out 12 and issued zero free passes.

That last number is probably the most significant. If Jayden's control remains that sharp through the rest of the regular/post season, the Sooners will be hard to beat. Not many teams can trot out four pitchers with the ability of Parker, Chestnut, Stevens and Finney. Also, it will require a collapse of epic proportions to prevent our Sooners from qualifying to host a regional and, if they hold serve, a super regional.

Any news on Pendley? Haven't seen any updates since sybarite reported on this board that she was hit in the nose by the Lipscomb pitcher and had to leave the game.
 
Also, the new RPI rankings should come out later today. Can't wait to see if our clean sweep at Knoxville moves us up a spot to #2.

Has there been a statement from the team as to the reason that Sydney has
not played a couple of games? I believe she didn't play in one and then did and then didn't? Do you know if she has tweaked something and this is precautionary?

I think that since the conference started she has thrown 15.4 innings and only allowed 8 hits, 2 walks and 2 earned runs for a 0.86 era.

I don't think there is any way we overtake Florida or Michigan in the RPI. And with Bama only winning 2 of 3 from Kentucky we should be safe. However #5 Auburn sweep Georgia and will probably move up. Hopefully not enough to pass the Sooners.
