Weekend Wrap-Up for April 21-23, 2023

No. 1 Oklahoma avenged its only loss of the season -- a February 19 game against Baylor in a nonconference tournament -- by not only sweeping the Bears this weekend but not allowing a single run. The Sooners' three wins came by scores of 7-0 , 4-0, and 2-0 . No. 7 Texas swept a three-game series from No. 3 Oklahoma State, with first-year Longhorn catcher Reese Atwood coming up with walk-off hits in Games 1 and 2. In Friday's series opener, Atwood's eighth-inning single drove home the game's only run, giving Texas a 1-0 victory .  Then on Saturday, in the first game of a doubleheader, the Longhorns trailed 2-0 as they came up to bat in the bottom of the seventh. It was Atwood again, delivering a three-run bomb ( video ) to give Texas a 3-2 win. In both Friday's game and Saturday's first game, Cowgirl pitchers had taken no-hitters into the bottom of the seventh. Saturday's second game wasn't as dramatic, with UT completing the series sweep by a 5-2 score.

OU Sweeps Texas, UCLA Does Likewise to Stanford in Battles of Top 10 Teams

No. 1 Oklahoma, which needed a late comeback in the middle game of its series with No. 8/9 Texas, routed the Longhorns 10-2 in run-rule fashion Sunday to sweep the three-game set. Meanwhile, No. 3/4 UCLA swept three from No. 6 Stanford. The Bruins' Aaliyah Jordan hit a pair of homers during the series and, according to the linked article, is 7-of-14 since her return from injury.

Texas at Oklahoma -- Game 2 (April 2023)

Texas is off to a 1-0 lead over Oklahoma heading to the bottom of the second in Game 2 of the teams' three-game Big 12 series. Some slick Sooner infield defense prevents the Longhorns from scoring more in the second... Still 1-0 Horns in the top of the fifth. UT starter Mac Morgan has allowed only two hits and two walks in four shutout innings... Texas with runners on the corners with one out in the top of the fifth after an infield single and a bunt on which the toss to first goes awry... More great OU defense leads to an apparent threat-ending double-play, but whether throw to first really beat the runner is being reviewed... Replay suggests runner was safe at first, which would allow UT run to score from third... Call of out at first officially overturned, 2-0 Longhorns... 3-1 Texas heading into bottom of the sixth... Long single to right to lead off for OU... ESPN graphic shows that Sooners have won 50 straight home games, a streak very much on the line... Horns retire lead r
