OU softball...

[Ruf/Nek7]

This could seriously be our best team since the 2000 Championship team. We are up 6-0 against Stanford in our first game of the year and through 2 innings, we already have 4 homers. We have solid pitching in Ricketts and Gascoigne, and what has to be the most powerful lineup that also includes girls who hit in the upper .300's...BOOMER!

Thanks for the update on the game.

[Ruf/Nek7]

Thanks for the update on the game.

No problem. It's in the bottom of the 6th and lets just say Ricketts is looking solid thus far. I will release more info. after the game.

6-0 OU

[Ruf/Nek7]

Ok, now that it is over and i cannot jinx Ricketts, she starts the season with a NO HITTER! OU wins 6-0

[NMSooner'80]

Thanks for not jinxing it. On the OUHoops.com men's basketball board, there's been two different occasions where posters jinxed Iowa State when they were getting ready to beat our two least-favorite Big 12 basketball teams on the road (KU and OSU). Talk about "Walk of Shame" material!

I am a baseball (softball by association) fanatic and honor these kinds of things.

It's gonna be an OU/Bama rematch and we're gonna kick Bamas arse.

[Soonerjeepman]

yeah, the softball team does look loaded....SHOULD end up in the series. I follow all the sports...gym is looking good as well.

[tycat947]

8-0 Sooners, in the top of the 5th this morning, against #5 Oregon. Keilani pitching another no-hitter so far!!!

[Soonerjeepman]

wow....ok, I'm a novice at softball..but no H, no E, no R = perfect game like baseball?

[SoonerInFortSmith]

wow....ok, I'm a novice at softball..but no H, no E, no R = perfect game like baseball?

No walks or HBP can be given up either. Perfect game = no baserunners allowed whatsoever.

[Soonerjeepman]

ah...guess she had some walks?

[tycat947]

ah...guess she had some walks?

According to report on SoonerSports.com, there was one walk and one error. I'll take a no-hitter every day! Doesn't have to be a perfect game for me!!!

:glee:

[Soonerjeepman]

true...
the team is on a role...so early. Hope it stays that way...big sticks against good competition.

[C&CDean]

Girls are 5-0, and Keilani has two no-hitters already. She struggled badly in game 5, but Gascogne came in and took care of bidness.

Thanks. Looking forward to attending a few games this spring.

[PalmBeachSooner]

I'm really excited about the season and I can't wait until the girls come to Austin to play the horns so I can see them in person.

[JoeR]

9-0 with 4 run rule wins! It woud be nice to find a link to watch the game against Notre Dame tomorrow.

[Blue]

Outscored the last 4 24-0 and that included 22nd and 16th ranked teams. Impressive.

I read an article on espn talking that maybe this team is the best ever.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here...but it just might be. Nary a weak link with the bats, and 2 world-class pitchers. If Keilani can just prevent the mental breakdowns she seems to have at the most important times we'll be pretty tough to beat.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

OU leading Notre Dame 7-3 top of the ninth. Sooners scored four runs in the ninth.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

Notre Dame just scored two runs in bottom of ninth - OU still leading 7-5. Ricketts was relieved in the 6th.

Michelle Gascoigne is the reliever.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

Michelle just got a K. Two outs.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

Make that two Ks in the inning. Game over. Sooners 7, Irish 5.



USA! USA! USA!

[C&CDean]

What is it about Notre Dame? Sheez I hate them ****ers.

[tycat947]

A BIG +1!!!

[Blue]

Dominated again today. 5-0 over Georgia and 5-0 over ranked Arizona. It looks like our other pitcher is almost as good as Ricketts. Where'd she come from?

[Soonerjeepman]

nice...that's 12-0?

[Boomer.....]

Yes, 12-0.

They have played 6 ranked teams and outscored them 41-0. This team is on a mission!

[Lott's Bandana]

Rollin!

Michelle's from Benicia, Calif. I noticed last week that 6 of the 9 starters were from California. And Ricketts is from San Jose CA.

We hit the mother lode.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

How's this for a February softball schedule?

[SanJoaquinSooner]

Alabama lost two this weekend. Lady Sooners should reclaim #1.

[Blue]

3 games in Cali and three shutouts including over #14 Arizona. Damn these girls are dominant and mostly hot.

[JoeR]

2 more wins today. 5 shutouts with 3 run-rule wins this weekend in Fullerton. And what do you mean "mostly"? :)

[C&CDean]

7 shut outs in a row. 19 on the year. Can you say pitching? Sure you can.
