Yep. The Pokes have played better ball the last two games. Hurts to say it.

Ah well, we've lived by the HR the last few years, looks like we're gonna die by the long ball.

After May gives up 3 during her stint, Maxwell gives up a 3 run bomb. 6-2.

And Nicole gives up ANOTHER HR.. to Wark. Good guys trail, 3-2.

Maxwell in relief. Is it too late?

Nicole just can't seem to stand prosperity... another dinger given up, another tie game.

If that overturned call at 2nd winds up costing us the game, I'm gonna be P'off!

Cannot BELIEVE that, after that lengthy review, that the officials called Rylie out at 2nd! We now have the bases loaded, one out, should be NO outs... Brito is Due! 3-2 count, Kilfoyl delivers and struck out Brito. Torres needs to come up with a hit! Kilfoyl walked her for an RBI! Pickering up, bas...

Nicole May is the starter in the circle for OU and the game barely gets underway, with the first batter facing a 2-2 count, when we encounter a weather delay (typically a 30 minute stoppage when as a result of lightning, which was the case).
Stand by, this could be a long day...

Jenny just hired an associate head coach from Oregon state (he had same position there), so perhaps a package deal. The same thought occurred to me! I'd be willing to bet that the hiring of Jonas Chatterton, the Oregon State coach influenced Raegan a bunch! Jenny just got through making a home-run ...

This is how its been the majority of the year. Get runners on base and leave them there. It looks like we are hoping to walk, being unwilling to swing until we have to. There's something(s)? obviously wrong. I've been thinking a little bit more about Game 1 of the Bedlam series, and have come to th...

OUr failure to jump on their starting pitcher Aycock (a little surprised it wasn't Kilfoyl with the start) really hurt us. Aycock walked a lot of Sooners, but we didn't get the timely hits, which is getting to be too commonplace a thing! Aycock and Kilfoyl combined to hold the Sooners to only 3 hits...

There really is no silver lining, as we had all hoped for a 3 game sweep. That ain't gonna happen, now. But if there IS a silver lining, it's that their ace, Kilfoyl is probably not in the immediate future for them, although she might appear in relief in Game 3. OUr best hope, now, is to win the nex...

Sooners go 1-2-3 in the bottom of the inning, Pokes win Game 1. Pokes 6 runs, 7 hits 3 errors 4 LOB; OU 3 runs, 3 hits, 0 errors, 8 LOB.

Torres just did what she shoulda done in the 1st! A double to get the first hit off Kilfoyl! Sanders got lucky, the Poke 3rd baseman dropped what should have been a foul ball out. Gets the walk, 2 on, brings up Rylie Boone, who pops up for the 2nd out. It's up to Jayda, 2 on, and 2 out. Infield sing...

If we lose, as appears a strong possibility, the tone for the rest of the game was set in the bottom of the 1st inning. OU up by 1-0 (thanks to 4 walks), bases juiced, and one out.

So, what happens? Parker and Torres fly out to the Poke outfielders, we leave the bases loaded.

LOBs will kill ya.

This is really discouraging, the Aggies roughing up what I'd consider our top two pitchers, and no cheap stuff, they are just flat-out knocking the cover off the ball!

6-2 after 4 1/2 innings. As expected, Texas is kicking butt in Lubbock 13-2 after 5.
