OU's Mendes to miss softball season
Nicole Mendes will miss the 2020 season with an ACL injury, coach Patty Gasso announced Tuesday on Chris Plank's radio show.
The senior has a career batting average of .357 and a .971 fielding percentage. A three year starter for Oklahoma, Mendes is a utility who has spent most of her time in the outfield, and she has made pitching appearances for the Sooners in all three season.
Oklahoma is 7-0 in fall ball this year. It will play its final fall softball game Friday at home against UT-Arlington.
