It\u2019s only fitting that Oklahoma softball can add one more memorable moment to the rich history of Marita Hynes Field.<\/p>\n
It just took one swing. One massive swing from Haley Lee<\/a><\/strong> turned what was an anxious atmosphere into a raucous one in OU\u2019s 9-2 victory against Clemson on Friday afternoon in Game 1 of the Super Regionals in Norman.<\/p>\n A grand slam Lee will always remember to help the Sooners move to 55-1 overall and now tie the all-time softball winning streak at 47 games.<\/p>\n The Sooners go for the record Saturday. But more importantly, win No. 48 in a row would send No. 1-ranked Oklahoma back to Oklahoma City for the Women\u2019s College World Series.<\/p>\n Game 2 is Noon on Saturday. TV designation was still TBD as of Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n \u201cI just felt a gritty \u2013 the word gritty performance by the team,\u201d head coach Patty Gasso<\/a> said. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t our best performance defensively, which was very uncharacteristic. But what I loved is that the team rallied once they scored two.<\/p>\n \u201cRallied for Jordy. Rallied for Brito, that\u2019s very uncharacteristic for her. There were a couple of things that went on that\u2019s just not us. So to see them step up the way they did and scored very quickly, it was a testament to feeling adversity and answering that call. And that\u2019s what they did.\u201d<\/p>\n OU was rolling entering the top of the fifth inning with a 4-0 lead. Cydney Sanders<\/a><\/strong> had the big bomb with a two-run home run in the bottom of the fourth.<\/p>\n However, the Tigers fought back. They notched two runs and had the bases loaded with one out when pitcher Jordy Bahl<\/a><\/strong> was able to get out of the jam.<\/p>\n Back-to-back-to-back hits by Rylie Boone, Jayda Coleman<\/strong> and Tiare Jennings<\/a><\/strong> led to Lee taking the spotlight.<\/p>\n The momentum was building throughout the stadium with each hit. In the final weekend of Marita Hynes Field, Lee, the transfer from Texas A&M, delivered the crushing blow.<\/p>\n \u201cTruthfully, you\u2019re thinking just do something to help the runners advance,\u201d Lee said. \u201cYou\u2019re just thinking base hit, walk, anything in the moment. I looked down to third base and Boone\u2019s just like, \u2018slow it down. Find your pitch.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cSo I really just was like if she throws it over I\u2019ll take my pitch. If not I\u2019m happy with a walk. Just finding our pitch and slowing the game down for myself was kind of the process.\u201d<\/p>\n It was Lee\u2019s 14th home run of the season. Alyssa Brito followed with her 16th home run of the year, and a 4-2 narrow lead was now a 9-2 celebration.<\/p>\n Bahl and Alex Storako<\/strong> closed the show. Bahl went 5.1 innings pitched with eight hits, two runs (one earned) and six strikeouts. Storako didn\u2019t allow a base runner in the final 1.2 innings.<\/p>\n The post Oklahoma\u2019s Haley Lee has her Marita Hynes Field moment<\/a> appeared first on On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s only fitting that Oklahoma softball can add one more memorable moment to the rich…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6110\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}And then Oklahoma did what it does<\/h2>\n
