OKLAHOMA CITY – You don’t win a history-making national championship without some unlikely heroes, and OU softball had them. In the circle, at the plate, it wasn’t just the 10 seniors providing the moments for the Sooners. For OU to take down No. 1 Texas one more time in the Women’s College World Series, a couple of names emerged ready for the task. One, it was a bit of a redemption moment for first baseman Cydney Sanders. She looked like one of the best power hitters in the country in March before tailing off the rest of the way. But if you had to pick the biggest hit of Thursday’s championsh...

OKLAHOMA CITY – There’s just a different look in OU softball head coach Patty Gasso’s eye when talking about Kelly Maxwell. It might have something to do with Maxwell’s on-field development. But digging deeper, it’s more about the transformation off the field. A transformation that certainly wasn’t easy but reached its conclusion Thursday night. On the biggest stage, in what should have been the most stressful moment, Maxwell was as calm as could. Gasso was as stress-free as it gets. Go finish the job. Maxwell did that, recording the final four outs to give OU its fourth straight national cham...

OKLAHOMA CITY – It’s just always said for OU softball. No qualifiers to the statement. No hint of just how ridiculous it really sounds. Just go win another, go win another national championship. Do it, no excuses. Yet somehow, the Sooners keep actually accomplishing that. Year after year, make it four in a row. OU completed one more journey with a championship, taking out No. 1 Texas 8-4 in Game 2 of the Women’s College World Series championship series Thursday night at OGE Field at Devon Park. The second-ranked Sooners swept the Longhorns to claim their fourth straight national championship, ...

OKLAHOMA CITY – The four-peat is real for OU softball. It happened. In one of the unlikelier ways in the championship clincher, it happened. Head coach Patty Gasso has always said her club is able to win without one of the players. But it will only win because of all of them. The army of 21. That army showed up in so many different ways because when you’re trying to make history? You need everyone. And everyone showed up for OU in an 8-4 victory against No. 1 Texas in the Women’s College World Series on Thursday night at OGE Field at Devon Park. The second-ranked Sooners sweep the best-of-thre...

OKLAHOMA CITY – For all the talk about OU softball and the way it celebrates, you know when the Sooners didn’t? After Kelly Maxwell earned the final strikeout of the night to punctuate a dominant win against No. 1 Texas, there wasn’t jubilation. Act like you’ve been there before? That’s what OU did. It’s great to win Game 1, a huge advantage. But the job is not done. The Sooners were on in the 8-3 win against the Longhorns in the Women’s College World Series championship series. Game 2 is 7 p.m. on ESPN. You’d have to expect, and OU sure does, that Texas is ready to fight back. “I know that Te...

OKLAHOMA CITY – So much for the fatigue factor for OU softball. So much for the emotional drain of getting to the Women’s College World Series championship series. And so much for Texas being the fresher team. You can rest this weekend, there’s work to do now. And OU did just that, going to work early and often and sending a statement. The Sooners were simply better than Texas in every way possible in an 8-3 victory Wednesday night in Game 1 at OGE Field at Devon Park. Game 2 is 7 p.m. Thursday on ESPN. The key, though, was the start. Tiare Jennings, on her birthday, smashed a two-run home run...

OKLAHOMA CITY – The softball season is four months long, and for those four months, everybody has known this was the showdown: OU and Texas. It was solidified a bit Feb. 10 when Texas obliterated UCLA 16-0, sending the message. Those young pups from 2022 had grown up and were ready for the spotlight and the target. And then there were the champs, the three-time champs, actually. OU carried a 53-game winning streak into the season. And despite seven losses, has it ever really felt like OU didn’t belong back on this stage? No. 1 and No. 2. OK, maybe it wasn’t always that way in the polls all sea...

OKLAHOMA CITY – Nothing surprises OU softball head coach Patty Gasso about her two incredibly talented freshmen. All season, Kasidi Pickering and Ella Parker have come through with clutch hit and clutch hit. But what Parker did against Florida goes a little beyond that. Staggered, rocked and dazed but never out of it. Parker came up huge for OU in a dramatic 6-5 victory against Florida in eight innings Tuesday afternoon at OGE Field at Devon Park. The Sooners will play No. 1 Texas in the best-of-three championship series, beginning 7 p.m. Wednesday on ESPN. “My teammates got my back, and I kno...

OKLAHOMA CITY – That’s not how the script was supposed to be written for Kelly Maxwell and OU softball. Transferring from Oklahoma State to the Sooners, it was about Maxwell finally getting the chance at a national championship. It’s been about the quest for four in a row for OU, but it’s the final shot for Maxwell to get her first. But after allowing three home runs, five earned runs in the initial three innings? It definitely didn’t look like it was going to happen. However, it did. Somehow, someway. Maxwell’s career isn’t wrapped up just yet. On a day where she didn’t have her best performa...

OKLAHOMA CITY – She has been called one of the chaos coordinators for OU softball. But through the better part of this Women’s College World Series, senior Jayda Coleman had been rather quiet. One swing, though, can change that in a hurry. And one swing did do just that. Coleman took out a week’s worth of frustration with one walk-off opposite field home run in the bottom of the eighth to give OU a thrilling, memorable 6-5 victory against Florida on Tuesday at OGE Field at Devon Park. The second-ranked Sooners will get a chance for their fourth straight national championship. The best-of-three...
