Oklahoma’s own pitching staff has talked multiple times about how difficult it is to face the Sooner lineup in practices. If they feel that way about practice then just imagine how frustrating it can be for opposing pitchers. We perhaps caught a glimpse of that in Sunday’s Norman Regional championship game when Makinzy Herzog decided she had seen enough before the first inning was even over.
Herzog surrendered five runs on two hits and recorded only one out before she decided that it wasn’t going to be her day. Oklahoma was six batters into the order when Herzog went to the dugout. The Sooners ended up sending a total of 14 batters to the plate, scoring 9 runs, in the opening frame. OU would end up setting an NCAA Tournament record by winning 20-0 in five innings.
Oklahoma will face Central Florida in next weekend’s Super Regionals.
