The Sooners
Oklahoma’s softball program is a well-known power in the sport, with seven national championships in the last decade. The weekend series will be a case of high-caliber offense vs. top pitching.
The Sooners have the highest collective batting average in the nation at .390 while the Bulldogs rank seventh in earned run average at 2.15. Seven Oklahoma batters rank in the Top 20 int he SEC in batting average, led by freshmen Kai Minor and Lexi McDaniel. Gabbie Garcia and Ella Parker have 22 home runs each, with Isabela Emerling just behind on 19.
Ace pitcher Audrey Lowry carries much of the load in the circle. She has 18 starts and 32 appearances this season, and boasts a 2.61 ERA.
The Mississippi State offense will have to find a way to break through on offense and not put too much on Peja Goold and Alyssa Faircloth, but the pair of aces has proven more than capable of handling the pressure. Faircloth will be first on the bump after her lights-out performances in Eugene last week.
