  • Shocker SB v Oklahoma

    The Shocker play a previously postponed double header against 1/1 Oklahoma tomorrow. The start time has been moved to 4pm (says the OU site).

    The Sooners finished second to Alabama in the WCWS series last year, winning the first game of the championship series, but losing the last two.

    Oklahoma have a record of 28-2, losing only #20 Nebraska and #11 Louisville. As you would expect, they play a solid schedule, with a record of 15-2 against teams that were at least Receiving Votes. They have run-ruled Drake twice and have two wins over Nebraska in addition to the loss.

    They are lead in the circle by Keilani Ricketts, younger sister to our coach Samantha Ricketts. Keilani and Michelle Gascoigne have pitched all but 8.1 of the innings this year. The team ERA is 0.89 with a WHIP of 0.68. Yikes!!!

    The team OPS for the Sooners is 1.034!!, led by Lauren Chamberlain (16 HRs and OPS of 1.840) and Ricketts (1.396).

    This will probably be characterized as a learning experience - probably a humbling experience, too. But I should point out we competed well against Alabama and, for one game, against Nebraska, so the DH could prove to be interesting.

    Isn't there a Sisters rule that would allow us to put Sam Ricketts in the lineup as a DP?

      No hitter or perfect game? Odds?

        No perfect game - Erin will manage to get hit by a pitch. :)

          Odds on Rickets even pitching in this midweek game? But remember, WSU played Alabama tough. Defense one out at a time and work from there.

            If I remember correctly, last year was a rough first game (run ruled), but we played a tough second game, losing 5-0. To me, we have more confidence than last year hence, the improved record to date. I hope the ladies swing the bat and as Hovey said, play error free D. Last year Ricketts was the DH.

                Probably not as a starter. But both Ricketts and Gascoigne are seniors and the other pitchers listed on the roster are a sophomore and two freshmen. I suspect any of those will be on a short leash unless Oklahoma score a bunch of runs and can ride out any rough spots they might have.

                  Just heard from a player parent that the first game is now at 4:00. Not sure why, but will try to verify.

                    Due to field conditions according to goshockers.com.
                    WICHITA, Kan. ? Today's scheduled doubleheader with Oklahoma has been delayed until 4 p.m. due to field conditions.

                        Keilani Ricketts in the circle in game 1. Lost perfect game in the 1st inning when she hit Hayley Temple. No hitter still in play but a long way to go.

                          No hitter now gone. McCracken HR and a Fortney hit. Score tied 1-1.

                            Release the McCracken. Magan seems to be one of those all or nothing hitters. She must really cut it loose just in case she makes contact.
