The No. 7-ranked Lady Sooners are 20-0 since then and have won 27 of their last 28 games. With just two games remaining in the regular season and a two-and-a-half-game lead over second-place Baylor, it all adds up to a not unexpected fifth consecutive Big 12 championship for Oklahoma.
A three-game sweep over Texas Tech (23-32, 6-12), in which Sooner pitchers Paige Parker and Jayden Chestnut held the Red Raiders to just eight total hits and one run all weekend, clinched the outright conference crown for Oklahoma. The Sooners won the first two games in the series by scores of 8-0 and 4-0 behind Parker, with Chestnut nailing down the series finale in a run-rule-shortened 10-1 rout.
