The day lived up to the hype. The Oklahoma Sooners continued their incredible run to open Love’s Field like only they could do.
In their first game inside Love’s Field, Oklahoma needed a little Sooner Magic after Miami (OH) tied the game in the top of the seventh. And of course, it was the captain, Kinzie Hansen who provided the game-winning two-run home run in the bottom half of the inning.

The second game of the day was an 8-0 win in run-rule fashion, the style of win we’ve grown accustomed to with the Sooners during their three-plus years of dominance.
In both games, Kasidi Pickering hit a home run to continue an impressive start to her Oklahoma Sooners career.
As their record win streak hit 69 games, the Sooners ushered in a new era of Oklahoma Softball. With 4,450 fans in attendance, the sport reached new heights, creating even more buzz for a program that’s at the top of the sport.
