The Sooners record is 41-2, 12-0. They have won 31 consecutive games and have already swept Texas and Texas Tech with Oklahoma State their only remaining opponent in the top half of the Big 12. Their two losses in the second and third weeks of the season are to Florida State, the defending national champions and ranked #1/2 at the time, and UCLA, ranked #2/2. They run-ruled Tulsa a month ago.

There are four other players with an OPS greater than 1.000, but you have seen enough. The team OPS is 1.128.

The Shockers record is now 28-20, 9-6.
For the season, Butters leads the hitters with an OPS of 1.147 and nine homers. Ryleigh with eight homers has an OPS of .975 and is the only other Shocker north of .900.
