OU softball survived a combined 35-run midweek slugfest on Wednesday night in Wichita, Kansas.
The No. 2-ranked Sooners defeated Wichita State 19-16 Wednesday night in front of a Shockers record crowd of 1,245 fans. OU previously defeated the Shockers 8-1 on Feb. 23.
Wichita State’s 16 runs scored is the most the Sooners have surrendered since the 2019 Women’s College World Series when they gave up 16 against UCLA.
Maya Bland, Gabbie Garcia and Nelly McEnroe-Marinas combined for nine hits and eight RBIs in the win. Garcia, Isabela Emerling and Kasidi Pickering each hit home runs.
