expected throughout the day uh in fact you know we we were very concerned about the storm system that was bearing down on Norman they push back to start time of the spring game and basically kind of a good break for everyone involved is that system pushed to the South and we got a lot of rain this morning but it had dried up and made for a very pleasant afternoon over at Gaylord family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium currently here in love's field is 54 degrees the wind is still out of the north at 11 mph but the flags are at rest now and we're high and dry the rest of the way for today's game day weather presented by The Trails Golf Club in Norman where you'll experience everything you love about Golf and More and we're putting Nicole May right in the Loves Travel stops player to watch today it has not been the best of Nicole May her last few times out but you heard coach gasso they need her they need her this season yeah they need her they need this whole staff they've got to utilize this staff to uh get through postseason they're they're getting close we're approaching Big 12 Conference play tournament and so many different games that they've really got to utilize their staff accordingly first pitch of the game rolls in at 6:04 p.m. and it is a strike to Lair boute so even with the craziness of the schedule a sco early there's a line drive one hops Hodge makes a nice play throws to fur first one away hit hard but hjj was there and that's how you start it on a Saturday night thanks for joining us for the Sooner softball pregame show presented by Walden cleaners and laundry where the difference is quality along with Destiny maoy I'm Chris plank we appreciate you spending your Saturday night with us here's Kennedy Thomas I'm not going to lie I don't know where anyone for Houston is probably going to be playing as that want to sit fouled out the Third Base Line because they had already shifted like crazy with the number of players and the positions that they had they didn't even have they don't even have Kant 2 hitting they have or Parton that's um Amanda Cardon they don't have her hitting they have her in the flex they have Smith the pitcher in their initial lineup listed as the DP there's a grounder to short off a big hop jinings gloves throws quickly two away there you go here comes the third baseman I think Jazz Rollins good start for Nicole may this is what you want to see trusting your defense putting the ball in the hands of the best defense in college softball here's Jasmine Oran first pitch swinging and she fouls it back well I think we know this much Houston's coming out hacking here tonight just like they did last night much different look for the Sooners defensively Torres over at first Hodge at second but a left side that is all too similar and familiar with jinnings and buredo ground ball back up the middle backhanded on a dive by Hodge from her knee oh they got her Avery Hodge what a play on an amazing sliding backhanded play and she throws out Rollin at first in the first zeros across the board as we head of the bottom half of the first inning Oklahoma heads to the plate we are scoreless Sooner softball presented by L's travel stops L's travel stops the heart of the highway from learfield Ella Parker will lead things off for the Sooners it's the first time that J Coleman hasn't been in the starting lineup for the Sooners since J Coleman has worn the crimson and cream and we're ready to go for the sooner offense in a scoreless game first pitch from Smith the Lefty very deliberate wind and there's a Looper left center field it's down for a hit and that's how the Sooners start with a leadoff single on the first pitch from Ella Parker we have an update from the sooner Dugout on J Coleman the report is simply a night of rest just a day off for Jada that is really good news to be honest with you here's the first pitch to tiar Jennings and that's in for a strike so as they took the field the the swap was made with Smith in the circle and their leadoff hitter bout is the Deep key there's a hard hit ball pass Rollin at third into left field and the Sooners on the first three pitches of the game have Runners at first and [Applause] second watching The Dugout you said you wanted to see more energy tonight looks like the cheers are being led by Riley Boon and Maya Bland right in that front entrance Alina Torres debriefing with JT [Applause] gaso as here's the right-handed hitting third baseman Alysa burito with a huge hole up the middle for burrito as the first pitch is loow in for ball one check out where the shortstop Lorenzo is playing Destiny she's almost backing up Rollin at third she's covering that five six hole big time I think that tells us they're going to be working that inside corner to a right handed hitters pretty often trying to cover up that Gap there here's the 1 up high totals on the season for Brito we kind of hustled through our starting lineup so we'll bring you the slash in the numbers for all the sooner hitters as they step to the plate 417 for Burrito on the year 15 home runs nine doubles two triples math tells me that is 26 extra base hits this year the 2 to the senior she shows bump pulls it back the ball pops out of Coleman's glove as everyone moves up a face they drew in the third baseman Rollin who then retreated and it was too late everyone was safe especially with the ball popping out of the glove of Coleman Ball three yeah really good execution there burrito just showing that bunt and allowing it to be a fullon race between Lorenzo and Ella Parker here comes the 3 0 and it's Ball Four that really wasn't too terribly [Applause] close two hits in a walk and Tera Coleman's going to take this opportunity to walk out and talk to her starting pitcher it's a good start for the Sooners hoping to see them score some runs here feel like we've been seeing lots of Runners left on base do do you want me to bring up the number from last night or do you just just want to move on yeah let's bring it up last night the sooner stranded 12 Runners on base yeah so not do that tonight our home plate umpire this evening is Michael Parker Kaylee young is over at first and Keith Kerney thankfully is not behind the plate he is at third tonight Keith had a rough night I mean let's just call it like it is okay I think I think Keith would even have to admit to that all right here's Elena Torres you want to think of players who have been clutch for the Sooners Alina Torres has been just that over the last few games the right-handed hitting senior first baseman tonight take strike one 396 average for Torres 481 on base percentage her slugging percentage is at 714 hitting just 286 with the bases loaded but eight home runs and five doubles hit a three-run jack here last night here's the 01 pitch swings and Pops it down the right side out of Play There is a phenomenal standing room only crowd here tonight down the right field and left field Concourse lines pretty packed house today any making their way from the spring game to here Bas is loaded the 02 pitch to Torres way outside good good job by t uh Coleman to get out and get in front of it Shelby Smith by the way a 5.05 ER one of the leaders in innings for this team 113 and 2/3 of an inning Innings pitch this [Music] year the numbers that really stand out with her though is 42 strikeouts to 37 walks ground ball right side nice play by Kant 2 comes home for the force out to first she beats it out one away as Brian 2 does a nice job in not trying to do too much once she fielded it boy I was worried it almost seemed like Torres had it was a pretty close play at first it almost seemed like reacted to that right like the piano had suddenly got lodged on her back and she was trying to unhitch it all right the bases remain loaded on the fielders Choice here's Kinsey Hansen first pitch to The sooner catcher headed home and it's in the dirt another nice job behind the plate by Tria Coleman who again I I don't believe she worked too terribly much as a catcher whenever she was here in Norman Shelby Smith kind of struggling to get it across the plate not a very hard throwing pitcher but it's barely making it one ball and no strikes very deliberate rotation Hansen Loops one to the right field it's down for a hit one run scores pattty gaso sends home Melissa burrito she'll score it's a two-run single from Kinsey Hansen to stake the Sooners to a two zip lead here in the bottom of the first inning that's what you do as a captain that's how you get the rally started two nothing Sooners wasn't anything overly impressive just mused it out into some green grass here's Pickering just found a way to make contact not overpowering just putting the bat on the ball Lefty Lefty matchup Smith bangs that outside corner for strike one night was made I heard from Cassidy's grandparents on the third inning check in early so we're good to go on that front there you go Grandpa and Grandma sitting in Montana tonight here's the 01 pitch way [Applause] outside Don and Mary L Pickering out in Willow Creek Montana they'd love nothing more than to see Cassidy plant one in the right center field bleachers and stake the Sooners to a 5 nothing lead right here Smith rocks and fires and that's low ball two can you do your best description of Smith's motion for me destiny outside of funky just funky might be the only term here actually brings it to her belt brings it to her tip of her cap then pauses as she steps back and misses loow and in three in one it is her release is very deliberate I guess but it looks like she's aiming really hard to the Target my dad would call that Herky jerky here's the 3-1 pitch to The sooner freshman Line Drive center field and deep it buds off the base of the wall Torres rounds third she'll score it's a blast to center field a double for Cassity Pickering Sooners are shot out of a cannon three nothing on the RBI double from The [Applause] Freshman she hit it so hard hard Hansen had to wo up at third and for a moment it looked like Thomas might have a beat on it but she quickly realized I'm not deep enough yeah I mean that was a hard hit Thomas out in center field she took a good jump really read it well but it was a hard hit straight to the wall I mean at that point you've got to be able to play it off the wall once you realize that's a ball you cannot catch you've got to be able to play it off the wall we always love to hear where you're listening from as Houston Cougar pitching coach hope troutwine makes her first trip to the circle I saw Hope's husband fiance he's here sitting a couple rows in front of us watching the game think hopes thought I saw Hope's parents former sooner helped lead OU to the 2022 national championship before she came just a quick note on Hope before she came to Oklahoma never really had any visions of being a pitcher a pitching coach or a coach in general and she fell in love with the process working for Jin roacha pitching for Jin roacha so that's pretty cool she looks great she's in great spirits she's got a beat up pitching staff but good to see hope troutwine back in town three nothing Sooners meeting's over here's Avery Hodge Runners it's second and third one away three runs on four hits there's only one out so far here here in the bottom of the first inning Hajj takes strike one Avery came in last night got a base hit fact it was a two strike line drive into center field she is on some kind of streak recently as hjge here comes the 01 pitch to The sooner starting second baseman way outside I've noticed too want me to be hitting coach here yeah let's hear it it's kind of messing a little bit with the timing of the front foot I noticed for TI Jennings and then on hjj they kind of get that motion going then you got to wait until you figure out Smith's motion Hajj does a better job here as she takes ball two outside how was that JT's not in trouble though I guess I guess that's the one thing we can say hajes three for her last three and have F has five hits in the last five games that she's played here's the 2-1 nearly hits her ball [Applause] three she's five for her last nine with two runs scored and a double stolen two bases during that stretch too for Hajj who Waits on the 3-1 pitch with Runners at second and third and one out the pitch all four Bas is loaded for Riley L [Applause] [Music] [Applause] rough start for Shelby [Music] Smith lead off single by Parker a single by Jennings a walk by breedo Torres had the fielders choice and a two-run single from Torres and an RBI double from Pickering and now the walk to hjge first pitch to Lam is in for a strike Riley had a good night and maybe what might have been a bit of a surprise start in the DP spot Ella Parker got the night [Applause] off Lam went two for three the 01 pitch oo strike two it's amazing how interchangeable this lineup is Ella Parker got the night off and Pickering did well to see Hodge and Torres in the line up at the same time is rare yeah very rare it's only the second time I think it's happened this year starting lineup at least the O2 is way out okay stop plank can't say way out yet until your umpire makes the call after what we witnessed here last night the very deliberate call of the strikes from Keith Kierney he's over at third though tonight we got Michael Parker behind the plate Kaylee young at first here's the one-w pitch low two balls and two [Applause] [Applause] strikes Sooners have jumped out three zip we're still in the bottom of the first inning with only one [Applause] away two balls and two strikes the pitch from Smith blowing away three and two not far enough away from Coleman as the ball just rolls away to her right to allow Hansen to score doing a really good job behind the plate I mean I don't she doesn't have a ton of experience behind the plate but she's having to work and block some pitches she's done a good job keeping the ball in front a Full Count pitch headed home to Riley Lam with the bases loaded bounced foul off of Lam's how do that pop up and hit off a wrist might have got her foot first three balls and two strikes Smith from the belt brings it home grounder softly to third coming home with it oh my gosh the ball got away from Coleman now here comes Pickering and they'll tap Pickering out Cassidy got aggressive tried to take an extra base Patty gaso is going to say something to her as she walks to the bag our walks back to the Dugout they wanted to make sure that she tagged her and the throw home was wide of Coleman so Hansen scored on the slow roller to third but then Pickering as the ball got away from her tried to come home and they tagged her out and now Kristen vesley is out to check on her catcher who I think she just got Twisted in a bit of an odd Direction it's 4 nothing Sooners hjj stands at second base Lam is aboard at first do we still credit Lam with an RBI on that that's always been the confusion I think we do if so that's the 21st run batted in on the season for Riley Lam and this is the kind of start you love to see from the Sooners four runs here in the first and there's still an opportunity here to add more two away I like the aggressiveness from Pickering trying you score okay I didn't know if that was being too aggressive or not first pitch to Boon is popped up left side calling for it is the shortstop Lorenzo she makes the catch and that'll do it for the ters in a solid first inning Oklahoma sets down Houston three up and three down in the top half then they send nine batters to the plate pound out four hits draw a couple walks and build a four zip lead as we head to the second inning four nothing Sooners as we head to the second inning tonight's game broadcast is brought to you by Loves Travel stops the heart of the highway Kelly and Anita Ford have checked in from section A Joel Rogers already in in Rogersville Tennessee lomer sooner from Pride alumni Nick and Doug in section 19 as the first pitch to Tria Coleman is low and away for ball one we love to hear where you're listening from we'll get to as many as we can coming up in the third inning shout outs brought to you by Sentry rufing we're here in the second Coleman looks like she's okay after getting a little dinged up as May misses low and Away ball two on the play at the plate to clear up the rulings on that E2 on Coleman that allowed Kinsey to score so no run batted in for Riley Lam here's the two pitch to Coleman that's in for a strike again if you're just tuning in J Coleman getting a night of rest Sooners respond with five uh four runs here in the bottom of the first inning to try to end this one in five [Music] here's the 2-1 pitch Line Drive fouled on the left side Sydney Sanders also isn't in the lineup tonight it's a it's a big one yeah it's funny you get so caught up in watching a player that you've seen every every pitch that she's been able to play she's played at Oklahoma and then you lose sight of the fact that it's the first time since March 30th that we haven't seen Sydney Sanders in the lineup she'd started 12 straight games Coleman swing and a miss on a filthy drop from Nicole May that's one away and that is the first strike out of the game strikeouts this year brought to you by Tinker Federal Credit Union Oklahoma's largest Credit Union that was nice really good pitch and good start for Nicole May going out there with the 4run lead think has to put her a little bit more at ease first pitch to Shelby Smith misses a little low ball [Music] one one ball and no strikes to Smith 388 average for Smith who gets a big cut and fouls it off last night she was kind of the only offense that Houston really had had one of their three hits when one for two and then had the I guess you could say controversial play that the review showed that she was indeed tagged by Torres on a double play the 1-1 low two balls in a strike we had three reviews last night none of them were overturned that's right two two challenges from Houston one where the Umpire said hey we need to look at that here's the 2-1 to Smith loow in ball [Music] three this is where Nicole Maya struggled just a bit in her last few starts four and 2/3 against Texas only had one walk in that game gave up five hits couple walks against BYU but it's not necessarily the base on balls it's falling behind hitters yeah yeah she's definitely got to find her way to work ahead in the count and last inning she was able to really I think she did a good job with that and allowed her defense to make the outs behind her three balls in a strike the keeping track of timeouts and circle visits ends up taking more time from the Umpire than the actual visit does here's the 31 pitch hard hit ball to the right side nice backand off a hop by hodj throws to first two away Avery hjge ball in had the diving play in the first and now just a smooth backhand off a hop and there's two away I love watching her play second base she covers so much ground she's just so smooth what a play good for her I like Avery Hodge I do too I I like her they U as the first pitch a little bit in ball one to Bri can 2 crowd doesn't like it a little in I think Nicole May thought it was a strike based on her reaction I think the whole fan base did too they were doing I think it was one of the scoreboard trivia things as the 1 is about the same spot 2 and0 and they asked who's the biggest diva and I'm not kidding I think everyone answered Avery Hodge and I I was I was jaw drop shocked I mean she is I was like okay that would not be my guess me neither here's the two pitch to Kant 2 that's in for a strike all right I like this from Nicole May showing a little attitude out there two balls and a strike against a free swinging high-scoring Houston Cougar team that's looking for its first run of the SE weekend they're down 40 here in the second and Kant lifts one deep to right center field Boon going back at the wall makes the catch to end the in Kant got under it just a bit and Riley Boon never gave up on it all right Nicole May three up three down first pitch swinging to start the bottom of the second inning Ella Parker pops it into shallow left field easy play for Cardon and there's one away four nothing Sooners as T Jenning steps to shout out to Gabe look at Gabe first first time L field here's the first pitch to tr oh good pitch strike one when we got here we were all hustling from the spring game and they were shutting down Destiny on the snacks and I said never fear Gabe biker will be here the 01 pitch little bit low one ball one St Popcorn delivery that is one of the things that I love about Love's field is the two sweets that they have that kind of serve as the bookins and the love site is just so cool here's the 1-1 pitch to tiar singled her last time up and she drives one deep to right center field but arranging over is Thomas to make the catch and there's two away I think one of the better things here is that there's a radio booth now I'm not sitting here trying to brag or anything but you have a room we got a room yeah don't have to worry about sharing it with anyone awesome but you're not outside on the Concourse anymore we are not on The Concourse very grateful for that though I miss all of you though some have found their way to get up here and still hang out with us here's the first pitch to Burrito which is up high burrito walked her last time up we had Uh Kevin in Kansas who brought us some pulled pork um Angie Hol wrote me the kindest email uh letter sorry that I've ever received and I got some Mike and Ikes that were pounding here here's the 10 pitch to Burrito check swing but they're going to call that a strike on the outside edge Paige Cole has brought us uh peach rings now I'm not saying you need to bring treats gifts to the radio Booth Warren is Warren brought me a shirt for goodness sakes last week but if you do it's some of the nicest things that anybody's ever done for I tear up at it all I mean come on here's the here's the one-1 pitch to Burrito she rips it foul I mean think about my family bought me a bag of Cheetos for Christmas this year so when I get these gifts it brings me much [Music] joy four nothing Sooners we're in the bottom of the second inning a four-run first the Sooners sent nine batters to the [Applause] plate no Jada Coleman in the starting lineup no Sid Sanders the one-two pitch to The sooner third baseman Ryan drive down the right field line falling fast it's down Hy missed it on the dive it gets to the corner burrito's rounding second she's headed for third it's a two out triple Alissa fro places it just out of the reach of a diving Hy in right field triple number three on the season for Alysa breedo in Oklahoma avoids its first one two three inning of the weekend here's Alina Torres it's a tough decision on Hy in in right field I think in that situation you just want to keep the ball in front don't give up extra bases on that first pitch to Torres she's swinging and fouls it off down the right side Torres grounded one to First with The Bases Loaded in the bottom of the first inning canu came home for the force out but she barely beat out that throw first base barely beat it out double header there would have been not good she rips this one again down the right field line foul that's going to get well out of play reaches that upper Concourse seriously though it's it was really exciting I'm not

a two-run single in the first and she takes a first pitch low away for ball one Tim and Erica are listening on their way back from Joplin Missouri I brought this up earlier one of that's one of the drawbacks of having a booth is I would usually just be able to sit there and talk to Tim and Eric all the game long they sit in front of me here's the one0 pitch to Kinsey Hansen outside they probably decided they needed to put you in a box they needed me to get out of there oh mobin Pat are watching but have us synced up in El Dorado Hills Vince Paula and Rudy the dog and Lake Thunderbird tuned in and watching here's the 2 pitch to Kinsey Hansen ground ball back up the middle backhanded by the second baseman agular but oh look at the wheels on K9 Hansen beats it out slow slow slow roller and agalar couldn't charge it everyone's kind of standing around looking at each other in the Houston infield I don't know what else they would have expected her to do yeah I mean there's there's no play that could have been made it it just moved so slow up the middle it just took too much time to get there Kinsey had the time to get to first two hit day for Kinsey Hansen Here Comes Cassidy Pickering she doubled her last time up and drove in a run takes the first pitch a little bit out ball one our buddy Evans got us tuned in tonight granny Karen and papa Dwayne and St Cloud who did you say was at Lake Thunderbird oh I think that was Vince and the crew uh fun fact we used to have the triathlon over at Lake Thunderbird the 1 is a little bit in ball to H Chris has a question okay how yeah really yeah really all right um my freshman sophomore year I think it was my junior year they moved it to on campus we swam in the pool here but yeah we swam in that Lake and then we ran um we did CrossFit 20 has popped down the left field line and foul cin gave chase the Houston left fielder but she ran out of real [Music] estate so if I'm if I'm picking up what you're putting down here you're basically telling Vince that if he's not Vince Paul and Rudy the dog if they're not doing a triathlon while they're at Lake thund bird they're not doing it right they're not doing it right and if you don't have coach gaso in a kayak yelling at you 31 to the buoy there's a base hit pass the first baseman kantu down the right field line into the corner Patty gaso waves home Kinsey Hansen she'll score Pickering on her way to third she slides in ahead of the tag it's an RBI triple from Cassidy Pickering and it's five nothing sooner if sa day Cass [Applause] Pickering that was a shot just straight down that line here's Avery hot she walked her last time [Applause] up runner at third now nobody out five nothing Sooners infield comes in as hjj takes a right Allison says someone please tell me that Jada Coleman is okay I'm freaking out looks like she's okay she's all right she got a puffy coat on over there and joying the game Coach G so giving Jada a night of rest as the 01 pitch is headed home to Avery hod She lays down a beautiful bunt that gets a little backspin and then goes foul Randy Davis is in Dixon California tonight Williams got us synced up in cerville New Jersey sometimes I think you guys make up town names just to see if I'll say them Chad and Andrea normally checking in from B and Texas but they're celebrating their birthday it loves Field tonight nice very cool Chad Rando and Mama G synced up from the Miller Hilltop in Bigby America as hodj gets a good cut and fouls it straight back they've got a good view that's what I'm hearing yeah their backyard is beautiful [Music] really thought that we would be fighting a nasty North Wind and raindrops all night long but thankfully that front just missed us to the South here's the 02 to Hod she reaches and rips it in the left field a base hit Avery Hodge stay hot an RBI single gives the Sooners a six nothing lead here in the bottom of the third [Music] [Applause] inning and just put it past Rollin over at third base just past her outstretched glove and it was a good battle by hod she was down no balls two strikes found a good pitch poked it right through was able to get the RBI and get herself on base Quincy lilio is having a conversation right now with Tria Coleman they came in in the same class to the University of Oklahoma Q's going to pinch here likely stay in the game I would assume and maybe there's a chance oh Chris and vesley is going to slow things down here I think she's a wanting to make sure they have the substitution right and [Music] B potentially make a pitching change it looks like that's going to be the case this pitching change is brought to by Love's Travel stops love travel stops is the heart of the highway so Houston will make a change and Taylor Edwards who got the start last night we'll check in from the pin against Edwards last night the Sooners had some success I think it's fair to say two innings four hits three runs she walked to the 13 batters that she faced and did take the loss so Quincy lilio will come on to pinch hit for Riley Lam and Edwards will come in pitch a good job by the Sooners against a unique and a different kind of motion they [Music] absolutely they got it done against the type of pitcher that let's be honest they've struggled against Destiny the last few weeks yeah I think they did a really good job and and and it's tough because that's Houston's pitcher with the most Innings so mhm I think they may you know they might struggle a little bit trying to get through the rest of the weekend the kites have a synced up back

keeping stats there strike one so take Cardin out in left field go ahead and put boute out and left she had been the DP and Cardin had been in that Flex I don't think we've seen her step to the plate this weekend 3-1 pitch to lilio is up high ball four good looking at bat for Quincy Lilo Here Comes Riley boom lilio does a good job when she's given opportunities Ry Boer last time I popped out to short you don't see Q not at least run deep into account I guess is one way to put it too Boon takes the first pitch low for ball one see our buddy Gary Bonner is checked in Bruce with the OU Birmingham Club Annette is listening from section 108 at Chickasaw Bricktown ballpark tonight Suzanne watching at home in Norman hope you get well soon Suzanne and Doc and Toby tuned in from Washington DC there's Lyndon and Arbor Michigan let's go Boon had a cut fouled it back six nothing Sooners nobody out bottom of the third inning lilio at first hjj at second oh you looking to blow this game open 1-1 is [Applause] low it's a good opportunity to show bun and make this defense crash in and then Hodge over at second would be in a foot race to get to third mhm lilo's got some speed a lot of pressure on the defense to get that figured out two1 to Boon is lined in the left field it's a base hit they'll hold Hodge at third that's how hard Boon hit it a cutof throw one hopped Rollin that ball went skying into the air she lost it for a moment but Riley Boon's got a hit tonight she's a board and the bases are loaded here comes Ella [Music] Parker Ella Parker on the night is one for two singled stole a base and was thrown out at home on a force play she swung at the first pitch each time she takes a strike here no balls in a strike to the left-handed hitting freshman Boon at first lilio at second hjge at third there is a massive hole up the middle for Parker oh she got a little fooled on an off speed and swung through it for strike two it's a good pitch choice for Edwards if she can work that in throughout this at bat Ella Parker may have a tough time here comes the o02 pitch to The sooner freshman Edwards brings it home skips it and again teria Coleman does a nice job going down and [Applause] getting one ball two strikes we mentioned Parker's one for today she's now hitting 387 on the season here comes the onew up high two and two [Applause] Ella Parker's last home run came on April 7th against Texas that was a shot deep 22 ball three low she has seven home runs on the season 37 runs batted in but has also been walked 24 times she's run the count full here with the bases loaded and nobody out Sooners looking for their seventh run of the game here comes the Full Count pitch hard hit foul out the Third Base Line and Avery Hodge had to do a little dance to make sure it didn't get her [Applause] 3-2 very deliberate is Edwards plenty of time on the action clock she missed way outside ball for it's a base is loaded walk and it's s nothing [Music] Sooners Ella Parker has a plate appearance in all three Innings she singled she's flyed out to left and now she's driven in a run with a Bases Loaded walk number 23 T Here Comes t one for two on the day for TR Jennings first pitch strike on the Outer Edge Chris padon and his wife are listening on I5 in Cali heading to Valley of Fire outside of Vegas that's sounds dangerous a Valley of Fire here comes the I'm sure that's not technically what it is here's the 01 to Jennings oo a little bit out I saw Brad leverage had checked in from New York Greg's working some shift work tonight Bobby up in Broken Arrow my man Shane Sanders has Us in Midwest City gunny's in the house in Porter C Mills here comes the 1-1 pitch what happened there everybody's going to try to move up a base and lilio is going to score the ball just slipped out of the hands of Edwards and Oklahoma will score its eighth run of the game on Edwards basically losing the ball in her motion they're not going to have a replay for it unfortunately that was weird we've seen it before but it's 8 nothing run roll territory and jinnings launches one to left field oh my goodness What A Catch by bout Boon though tags up she'll score the ninth run of the game and it's nine nothing Sooners on a laser down the left field line that boute took a few steps and made an incredible grab but Boon was smart enough that senior leadership to tag up it's a sack fly RBI for TR Jennings and it is now nine nothing Sooners here's Alysa breedo first pitch swinging she rips one to left field one hops boute who gets it back in quickly and the Sooners have pounded out 10 hits RBI by the way number 298 in the career of tiar Jennings she needs one more to tie Stacy nman for sixth on the NCAA alltime list so that sack fly by TR Jennings is significant here's Alina Torres with Runners at first and second now first pitch to Alina is in for a [Music] strike 290 eight career runs batted in for TR Jennings Torres is they have her listed at 0 for two and she takes strike two reached on a fielder's choice in the first but scored a run grounded out to second in the second she is the ninth batter to come to the plate here and what's already a five run second here comes the 02 pitch bounced back towards the circle bobbled dropped everybody safe Edwards had an odd hop and was unable to Corral it and the Sooners will bat around here in the third inning and they've loaded up the bases for Kinsey Hansen feel like they just got to slow this game down a little bit it's gotten a little overwhelming for the Houston Cougars it's the first time this weekend that the Sooners have batted around if you will I remember a significant discussion that I had with the voice of the Sooners Toby Roland about batting around if you just send nine to the plate right you haven't officially batted around right yeah you must get a 10th person to batt around okay are we still steadfast on that Toby I don't know sounds like Destiny made it official I think you're right I I agree with that yeah all right we're going to have another pitching change Christen vesley is out hope trout wine is obviously at our wits in here and I think we're going to get our first look of the weekend nope no no it's going to be toaya uh waiters she pitched last night too we have one pitcher we haven't seen yet this week weekend and waiters will be the third pitcher of the night we are still waiting on Paris Leman that's who it is and I think she might be a little bit DED up she's got 76 Innings thrown that was one of the things that had hurt Houston a little bit were injuries in their pitching staff I I want to go back a little bit here though to the play that scored Quincy Lilo is it as simple as saying that Edwards just lost the ball in her in the middle of her wind I mean we've seen this happen before but not in a while where usually it's like sometimes the back stop at the top of your delivery or or maybe it might hit your hip but that one just I mean it it rolled backwards somehow yeah it was very weird and and it didn't take like a high hop no I don't I think it just really slipped out of her hand mid wind up we've seen it before but I don't know if I've ever seen it head in that direction so it let me see exactly how they score that but that caused a lot of chaos they do rule that as a wild pitch so lilo's run is scored on a wild pitch the Sooners have plated five so far here in the third it's 9 nothing and waiters will check in for a L's travel stops pitching change 4 and three on the season for waiters 40 and a third Innings she's a sophomore out of the Colony Texas that's Jada's High School transferred to Houston from UT Arlington team is loaded with a lot of transfers obviously Tria Coleman started here at Oklahoma we've seen Shelby Smith a lot this weekend she's here from seatan Hall Nicole bedau from Maryland Lair boute is from Tennessee they got a Michigan State Minnesota and a Texas transfer along with Old Miss and Sten F Austin waiters V Hanson Bases Loaded first pitch po foul down the right side and it's going to hit off The netting and get out of play job by Hansen keeping her hands back on that seemed to be like a off speed change up now waiters doesn't throw very hard already as it [Music] is no balls in a strike plenty of time on the action clock the pitch good spot right on that inside corner strike two Torres at first breedo at second Parker at third oh Hannah cor has moved into the on Deck Circle that's nothing against Hannah I'll explain you know I'm the biggest hanor fan there is oh yeah but there's context here's the 02 pitch to Hansen line drive one hop towards second the only play will beat a first I think Hansen beat it out they're going to caller out Alina all right who's over at first base Folly PMA steel looks over towards Patty gaso I don't think they'll challenge it it's I mean it's 10 nothing the runner scores from third but it was a bank Bank play at First Credit Kinsey Hansen with the RBI she's now driven in three runs tonight two for three and we'll see Hannah core pinch it here with the runners at second and third and two away the Sooners up 10 nothing here's the only reason why I wanted to see Cassidy pick ring back do you know what's never happened in the history of U softball do you know cycle hitting for the cycle Cassidy Pickering has a double and a triple already so y never know well with with it being 10 nothing in the bottom of the third inning I doubt that we'll have a situation for her to get another at bat anyway here's Hannah core first pitch to core is little bit in and I'll get the call in the corner for strike one don't be fooled by the Numbers core hitting just 171 but she's hit the ball hard hitting 222 with two outs and was the star of fall ball here's the 01 hitter base is [Applause] loaded we'll take it great joke is TIG Leon in here turned around at first and I thought I was in trouble and I'm like he's had a busy day too we were down at the spring game earlier I thought it was a great crowd today considering some of the weather concerns that was a great crowd how's the team looking what' you think I'd buy my Dion B stock now is what I would do Bas is loaded for Avery hodin she rips one deep to left field racing back boute makes the catch and ends the inning but the Sooners blow this game open a six-run third and

Solution for plumbing heating air conditioning and electrical make the winning call today I was just pulling up those Big 12 baseball standings and it warms your heart whenever you see the Oklahoma Sooners in first place by a full game here's the 2-1 a little bit out 14- four for the sooner baseball team in conference play West Virginia at 11 and five they still have two more games to play this weekend here's the 3-1 pitch to Thomas fouls it off the base hit by boute by the way is the first hit of the game for Houston it breaks a string of nine straight retired by Nicole May [Applause]

team is competing for the national championship as we speak is the one pitch misses [Applause] low there are too many links to click on to figure out what the score is in that right now time called is chinro there is coach roacha things have been smooth tonight the sooner pitching coach mom of Eliana husband of Paul will make her way to talk to Nicole May one of the best in the game what do you think the message here is to Nicole May after falling behind two she's falling behind the first couple hitters here yeah she has fallen behind and this was the first inning of the game that she gave up a leadoff hit so think just kind of settle in she's she looks fine I think her pitches are good they're just continuing to be aggressive Sooners are finishing on the high bar on the men's side currently have a score of 348 257 looks like they'll come up just short of a potential National Championship Stanford's been on quite a heater recently meetings are over here's the 20 pitch to the dangerous Jasmine Rollin and she pops it up left side foul territory core gives Chase but will run out of room well actually as it stands right now in the men's gymnastics championship Michigan has the lead over Nebraska Illinois is third followed by Stanford and fourth U and Ohio State round out the top six try to keep you updated on that see if U Can't rally here's the 2-1 pitch Rollin hammers one long go on oh my goodness that ball is blasted over the seats in right center field that's one of the farthest balls we've seen hit from an opponent and Rollin makes it 10 to2 first runs of the weekend for the Houston Cougars and it looked like Nicole may just missed a spot there Desy oh my goodness did she that was totally missed but the amount of power that that ball had to get out of here that was insane I think that may have cleared four rows of those Outfield bleachers in right center so in right center field and left center field they're seating but there's not a second level of bleachers like there is in true right and true left field yeah that would have landed in that second row of bleachers what a shot here's Tera Coleman sorry no you're good did you see the bat flip that that came no she she had a bat flip and I don't know if hope troutwine over at first base liked that really yeah she did a a big bat flip and hope is just sending her to just go a second just go she hit it a long way here's the 01 pitch to Coleman she lines one in the left field it's down for her first hit of the weekend Cole May struggling here a little bit with a 10 lead gives up the two-run Home Run and with the one away here comes Shelby Smith Sooner softball presented by L's travel stops the heart of the highway and when you can't be at the game soonersports TV has you covered on the

hard-fought season the 1 pitch Falls in for a strike from the right-handed waiters to Quincy lilio who walked in her last at bat 42532 4 the final score for Stanford national champs men's gym 1-1 misses outside two and0 also in the Big 12 BYU beat Iowa State 8 to5 they sweep the series from the Cyclones 2-1 is an off spe that falls in significant just when you start to look at the standings and consider who the Sooners might see in the Big 12 tournament now obviously one through three is still very much up in the air in the Big 12 tournament too two balls and two strikes here's the pitch to Lilia off speed she fists it foul Riley Boon Waits on Deck only thing I'm not seeing here is a UCF score we're heading to Orlando leaving on Thursday for the Friday Saturday Sunday Series against

out that here's the first pitch to Boon and she shows bun pulls it back takes a strike waiters really mixing in the off speeds trying to keep these hitters off balance if you're looking ahead to next weekend in Orlando 5:00 p.m. first pitch on Friday night 1:00 on Saturday and then 10 a.m. on Sunday 01 boy is just a slow off speed that drops in for strike two so that's why we're not seeing a UCF

BYU be a Thursday Friday Friday Saturday series and having the the Kansas Series be Thursday Friday Saturday my entire mindset has been messed up I've been thinking it's Sunday all day long here's TR Jennings first pitch to tr is an off speed that she pops foul down the right [Applause] side feel like we need some type of energy going feel like it's kind of dead out here I think everybody is waiting to go crazy when TI Jennings hits one over the center field you went there the 01 misses high no I I agree I agree maybe there's a lot of people that were at the spring game today maybe everyone's kind of bundled up but there's a little energy that's been lacking at times here tonight here's the one ball one strike pitch to Jenning with the Sooners on top 10 to2 in the bottom of the four uh fourth inning Runners at first and second the pitch had a cut swung through it for strike two now your calling last night was close with TR plank had a came up just short he called it for tiar right off the bat and it was about 6 in short here's the one ball two strike pitch to [Music] tr headed home off speed is popped up Shallow left field boute comes in a few steps make this uh the catch there's two away you know Jose C being in the booth a couple minutes ago did remind me of the moment when Joe was in the booth last year and Hannah core lined one that I thought was gone and it hit off the wall whoops that was a little embarrassing I've called I called the great jinny love Meyer Judy the other day and I called a ball a home run all my boss was over my right field Corner as it's hitting Off the Wall over my shoulder first pitch to burritto in first trke Alysa buritos had a good night saw me if you've heard that one before she's two for two with the walk tripled in the second singled in the third bats here in what is likely the final plate appearance for the Sooners this evening 10 to2 lead she lifts one to shallow right field racing in is Holly and the catch is made by agular the second baseman ranging out and a promising start to the fourth ends with three straight pop outs but the Sooners are three outs away from win number 41 and as we head of the fifth inning Oklahoma leads at 10 to2 visit soonersports.com for more information back to work for Nicole May we're in the fifth 10 to2 Sooners first pitch to Brian 2 is popped foul down the right side overall pretty good night for Nicole May did give up the two-run Home Run four Innings three hits has struck out four hasn't walked any but the Home Run was a byproduct of falling behind and account here's the 01 pitch to Kant bust in on the hands misses ball one fans wanted a strike there today's game broadcast it's presented by Love's Travel stops the heart of the highway with Destiny mroy on Chris [Music] plank producer is Hunter back in the learfield studios as the 1-1 pitches in for a strike Hunter stunkle are we putting him in professional fortnite player territory Star Wars expert that's Hunter here's the onew skips in that kind of slipped out of the hand of May I know this is easy to say when I'm sitting in a booth but the weather has been pretty incredible not just tonight but today based on what we thought we might have thank you Dr Kevin Clazel for fixing that here's the two two pitch the can 2 rip fouled on the third Baseline tomorrow's first pitch weather looks solid it's set for 1 p.m. 12:45 pregame show with Destiny and [Applause] I here's the 2 two pitch low Full [Applause] Count can two on the night Zer [Applause] one may had retired the first nine batters she faced here's the 3-2 pitch bful everyone here thought it was strike three but there is the game extending run standing at first base with nobody out looks like we're going to see a pinge runner here as Bethany agular comes to the pl strike out victim her last time [Music] up this is when Nicole has to really control and take command of her pitches you've got the eight run lead you're in the top of the fifth you can close out this inning right [Music] here Jordy Wilkins will pinge [Music] run and here's agular again a strikeout victim her last time up first pitch is a bun and it's right back to May she'll have a play at second they'll get the lead Runner good job by May no hesitation they cut down the lead Runner nagul will reach on the fielders choice and here comes Patty gaso and we'll get a pitching change here for the Sooners oh pton monelli will be called upon I was looking down at the pin and here comes pyton she's ready to go so the crowd gives a good Round of Applause for Nicole May well after the struggles that Nicole had last Friday night against BYU in which in three Innings she gave up three hits three runs walked two and struck out one she got pinned with a loss at Texas I I didn't think she was all that bad at Texas five hits two runs six strikeouts one walk tonight much better [Music] two-run home run and that's all she gave up retired the first nine that she faces she'll be responsible for the runner at first as Payton moneli comes out of the pin and this is I think a pretty big moment for monelli too you talk about pitchers who have been struggling a bit monelli had been dominant in a sooner uniform through her first first 16 Innings of work but it's been the I guess it would be 15 and a third no 15 Innings yeah it's been the last full inning 2/ thirds against I'm sorry a third against Kansas where she gave up a hit two runs and walked one and then she wasn't even credited with a full Inning on April 6th against Texas so I was right the first time her first 16 innings were fantastic it's been the last two outings the last third of an inning soono won that game at Kansas she was kind of I there have been some and listen I'm going to go to the mattresses because there had been some that have said well whenever they went to pton monelli late in that game it just against Texas it looked like Oklahoma was grabbing it straws well the plan was to maybe try to throw off Texas with monelli and how hard she throws at night yeah right and a little tougher to see but unfortunately monelli just she really struggled to find the zone at a walk I think they did she have a hit batter in that game no that was the Kansas game but a big spot for here to just close this thing out against the pin hitter Katie Rea Runner first first pitch grounded foul down the third Baseline that thing came off the bat weird I think that's been the biggest challenge with her is just finding the zone or finding the the spots where hitters will chase and it could still be borderline of strike I think that she struggles trying to find those Corners agreed that's a really good point she's got the velocity I think a year under coach roacha she'll be a lot better next season monelli was ready to go and repa wasn't in the batter box yet so they reset the 22nd clock Payton brings it to the Belt the1 swinging a Miss if Payton monelli can can and what's Wild if you look at her history wildness has not been an IT issue she didn't walk a lot of batters but if she develops an off speed M over the next year look out which we just saw one that was pretty good here's the 02 pitch from mon s fouled [Applause] back Hansen makes the catch off the net this was Arena Football she'd be out so monelli making her first appearance since the Texas series ahead on the count here no balls and two strikes to Katie Rea pay rocks and fires way outside good job by Hansen oh and the throw back got over the head of monelli but who's right there tiar jinnings to back it up tiari Jennings has probably backed up I don't know like a thousand throws maybe more and I don't think she's ever had to make a play until that one time right there how about that here's the one-w pitch from monelli popped up back towards us and well out of play pretty good bat going here for k repa 200 hitter getting a pinch at opportunity with one out in the top of the fifth inning and the sooner up 10 [Applause] to2 here comes the one ball two strike pitch monacelli brings it home missed a little bit up two and two I think the whole place was ready to explode for a strike three call 10 to two Sooners and they've left eight Runners on base we talked about that in the pregame show and all day yesterday they're leaving a lot of Runners on base two two line drive core diving catch did she make it they say yes to throw to first will they double off the runner they will Hannah core an incredible catch in left field she gets the runner at first for a double play and ends the game but wait will review it hold off on the light [Applause] show Katie repa was pointing at first base boy this is going to be one heck of a review brought to you by Noble McIntyre and McIntyre law a law firm you should turn to for all your personal injury needs Hannah core came running in to make an incredible diving catch the only question was did she trap it let me see if I can read core's expression here I think it was a fair catch she did come in diving head first moving forward and the glove was kind of trapping that ball but I love when people I I love it though that people count that I have the replay monitor that's good communication we we got it we're good we we're not cool enough to have a replay Monitor and I don't know if we have replays on the TV side yeah I was going to say I don't think replays working over there so if it's a catch then the game's over if it's not then we got a little mess to figure out well I saw them throw the ball to Boon for the tag or for the force if it did hit the the ground we'd get at least another out at second base mhm in the force but I don't know I think it was a catch for the double play because that's a here's the thing if it's not a catch you're right then they have a force play they're they're talking about this right now they finished up their look of the replay it's almost as if they're like just call it an out so we can go home oh they're headed back in nope they're headed back in they went and they talked real quick with who is that is that our not Patty gasso coach gasso has the ear of Kaylee young our first base umpire because they had the they would have had the force at second for at least the second out but core makes the diving catch and then they double off the runner trying to get back to First that would have been the ball game you you think but again I I'm a terrible help right now to everybody we're just sitting and staring down the third Baseline because we there there's not replays on the video board we don't have any up here in the booth so and with my eye I thought she caught it and there was no the here's the other problem no umpire was out towards her the person who made the call was the home plate umpire yeah and I don't know if someone was out of position here we go they're going to come out and say oh they're taking weight safe oh by the runner at second what are we going to do here so Hannah core did not catch it Christen vesley is waiting so are they going to let him keep Runners at first and second [Music] see that's what I was talking about it's a mess if you overrule this yeah I mean it's it's significant I mean it's a 10 to2 game what yeah what happens here because even after the play the Sooners made sure that they got the ball over to second base for that for the fource right well you can't assume anything yeah I I don't oh coach is not happy they're going to allow him to have Runners at first and second oh this is just an absolute disaster I mean I this is just all right so what are you doing I don't know what's going on over I mean this is crazy now you have the first base umpire who is explaining things to alinaa Torres and Avery Hodge that's Kaylee young got the Empire behind the plate explaining some stuff to Hansen all right well here we go they're going to say Runners at first and second one out all right and we're going to get a pinch hitter as well I mean that was just a terrible break for the Sooners as Dumas is going to pinch hit here the first pitch swing and a miss strike one from monel [Applause] H Squad Dumis the pin shoter here 133 average with Runners at first and second pinch inning for Holley low and in ball one oh the crowd is after these umpires now I just I I I would unfortunately with um the spring game today we don't have our wireless equipment so we can't go down and talk to coach post game but I'd love to know the explanation behind that here's the 1-1 yeah because you have agar at first oh my gosh k9's going to walk out and set the defense out in front of the plate two balls in a strike that looked like a pretty good pitch too first and second 10 to two Sooners as we're in the top of the fifth inning pitch from monelli swinging a miss stke [Applause] too 10 runs on 11 hits for the Sooners two runs on four hits and two errors for the Houston Cougars moneli is ready Dumis digs in misses High full count Center Captain TI Jennings walks towards the circle shouts words of encouragement Han aor had made what looked like a sensational diving play in left field they had doubled off the pinge runner at first but it was then rolled a trap here's the 3-2 pitch ball four on another really good spot base is loaded [Applause] [Music] [Applause] unbelievable I mean this has just gotten out of control here's Lair boute I want to know what the rule is on that that Force mhm because they sent the ball there they tagged the base even if that's not a catch in left field that runner from first needs to be at second so she never touched second because she she thought the ball was caught and she ran back to First Hy by the way is going to reenter and run at [Music] first well this thing went from being ball game and a 10 to two sooner win to one swing of the bat making it very [Music] uncomfortable and we're going to get another new Runner a pinch Runner they're going to bring in at third base Mandy esman making her first appearance of the week in the transfer for Michigan [Music] State huh all right here we go sacks full of cougars Bas is loaded one out 10 to two Sooners lar boute is one for two on the night she has one of the four Houston hits first pitch hit hard [Applause] foul I was just about to talk about how quick quickly this game had been G and then that McIntyre law official review changed everything no balls in a strike time is granted to bout who now takes a walk they haven't reset the pitch clock yet for some reason now they [Applause] do no balls in a strike here's the pitch stri twoo Bronx cheer on that one now what's vesley going to complain about she has her lineup card out again are they going to pinch run they've they've got a pinch runner at first well actually the re-entry of a runner at first they've got a pinch runner at third I have no idea what that was about need to get involed 02 count our girl back you don't need to get involved no balls in two strikes here's the pitch from monelli to bout ground ball to third burrito comes home Force out for one Hansen will eat it she'll hold it there two away burrito threw a strike to Hansen who was right on the plate and the last hope has been the hitless center fielder Kennedy Thompson Bas to Stay Loaded for Thompson after the force play at home I wonder why burrito didn't tag her base and go to First H first pitch pop foul left field line no room for [Applause] core good question I think the ball was hit hard enough I I could understand being sure that they're not scoring but I think typically burrito's got enough confidence in herself to make a solid throw to first you don't have to worry about that extra run no balls in a strike monelli brings it home misses low and away [Applause] it's almost now like it's purposeful yeah I'll show you people yeah one ball and one strike bouncer towards short Jennings charges gloves throws b game finally win column Sooners game
