The Oklahoma Sooners rebounded from a 9-4 loss on Friday night to take the series with a 7-3 win over BYU on Saturday afternoon.
Kelly Maxwell threw seven innings to continue her impressive run in Big 12 play. Alyssa Brito looks to have broken out of her slump with a 3-for-4 day that included a home run and four RBIs. Kinzie Hansen extended her hitting streak to 10 games, the longest streak of the season for Oklahoma.
After the weekend the Sooners had in Austin, it was a solid week for Oklahoma, going 3-1. They let the Friday game with BYU get away from them a bit but responded well to control the game from start to finish on Saturday.
Can Oklahoma continue to rediscover what’s made them so good over the last several years? Next, they’ll welcome the Houston Cougars before making the trip to Orlando to take on a surging UCF squad. To close the regular season, the Sooners will take on Oklahoma State in Norman in a series that will have huge postseason implications.
Here are some of the best photos from Oklahoma’s win over BYU.
