Women can win outright big 12 softball championship with win today — *** GAME THREAD ***

[chennups]

okie state beat OU again so they have fallen below us in the standings.  Texas has 10-run ruled tech two games in a row (23-0 yesterday!).  we stand at 22-4 in the big12.  both okie state and OU are 21-5.  we are one game ahead of both of them.

 

if we win again today to close out the series with a sweep, we will be outright winners of our last big 12 regular season championship!  Amazing!

 

go horns!

Would be incredible to end OU Softball’s dynasty on way out of BigXII.

Also, is this the last BigXII event ever in Lubbock for UT?

Even if Texas loses today, which I don’t expect to happen, they can clinch the outright title with an Oklahoma loss today.

The Longhorns softball team has me excited to tune in and watch them on TV every time their games are available. Last time I moved I lost the LHN on the systems available to me. I hope the Texas softball team is about to go on a playoff run and they will be on TV a lot.

You're in luck as the game is on ESPN+ today. 
 

Currently the top of the 2nd and the Horns lead 4-0 with two outs and a runner on. 

[Blake Munroe]

And as I finished typing that a base hit to center now makes it 5-0. Runners on 1/2. 2 outs. 

[Blake Munroe]

After today’s 5 runs already scored this is the first team in school history to score over 400 runs. 

[Blake Munroe]

7 runs on 6 hits and the Longhorns lead 7-0 as we go to the bottom of the 2nd. 

[Blake Munroe]

3 ⬆️ 3 ⬇️. 
 

4 strikeouts in first 2 innings. 

[Blake Munroe]

Much better defensive outing for Tech. Perfect inning for them (second of day). Horns lead 7-0 as we go to bottom of 3rd. 

[Blake Munroe]

Tech on the board after a home run. 7-1. No outs. 

[Blake Munroe]

Bases loaded for Tech. 2 outs. Let’s see if Texas can get out of this. 

[Blake Munroe]

Big hit there for Tech drives in 3. It’s now 7-4. Runner on 2nd, 2 outs.

Sorry yall… it got hectic. A 2 run homer made it 9-4. Then they somehow got another run in that I missed.

This will be over if Tech doesn’t score this inning.
