Under Patty Gasso, OU has 18 winning streaks of at least 10 games including three of at least 23 and six of at least 15 wins. A quick look at winning streaks with at least 10 wins under Patty Gasso: Streak Dates Started Ended 29 2/11/05-3/19/05 Sam Houston State (1-0) #1 Arizona (4-0) 23 2/9/07-3/7/07 #20 Louisville (9-5) Tulsa (2-0) 23 4/1/01-5/25/01 Iowa State (11-2) #1 Arizona (5-4) 18 2/28/03-3/20/03 UC Riverside (7-4) #5 Nebraska (8-0) 17 2/29/12-3/25/12 North Texas (6-1) #15 Baylor (1-0) 15 4/21/10-5/28/10 Baylor (6-1) #1 Washington (3-0) 12 3/16/02-4/14/02 Utah (8-0) #18 Texas (2-1) 12 2/8/02-2/22/02 Texas-Arlington (4-0) #18 Alabama (6-1) 12 2/9/01-2/24/01 Louisana Tech (3-1)#19 South Carolina (4-0) 12 2/23/00-3/5/00 Arkansas (3-0) #8 Fresno State (1-0) 12 3/1/97-3/15/97 Northwestern (1-0) McNeese State (4-1) 12 3/20/97-4/12/97 UNLV (7-3) #11 Missouri (2-1) 11 2/26/11-3/16/11 Cal Poly (4-2) Notre Dame (2-1) 11 4/14/00-5/11/00 Nebraska (13-0) Texas A&M (9-6) 11 3/25/00-4/14/00 #25 Texas A&M (4-2) Nebraska (1-0) 11 2/11/00-2/20/00 Kentucky (5-0) #4 Arizona (6-0) 11 2/13/98-2/21/98 Texas State (3-0) Wichita State (4-0) 10 4/23/06-5/13/06 Iowa State (8-6) Kansas (4-2) 10 4/4/98-4/18/98 Baylor (5-1) #8 Texas (1-0) SCORING IN BUNCHES During the 17-game winning streak, the Oklahoma team got it done at the plate and in the circle. Nothing illustrates that more than the fact the Sooners outscored their opponents during the streak. Three of the last 20 games have been run-rule wins while OU has shutout five of the last 20 opponents with eight others scoring just one run each. In the last 20 games, OU has outscored its opponents The Sooners have only been held to one run or less on four occasions this season, all losses. RICKETTS SETS CAREER STRIKEOUTS RECORD Keilani Ricketts needed just one appearance in the 2012 to capture the Oklahoma career strikeouts record. The junior pitcher entered the season with 798 strikeouts in her first two seasons and Norman and struck out 16 in her season debut versus UNLV to surpass the previous record of 805 set by Jill Most from Ricketts ended the opening weekend at the Sportco Kick-Off Classic with 36 strikeouts and 834 on her career. With 292 strikeouts on the season, the fifth most in a season by an OU player, Ricketts now has 1,088 career strikeouts and is fourth in Big 12 history in the category (page 7). The junior is 64 strikeouts from moving up to third on the Big 12 career list. Cat Osterman of Texas ( , ) holds the Big 12 career record in the category with 2,265 career strikeouts. FIFTY FOUR STRAIGHT When Kansas scored two runs on April 1, it marked the first time since OU s 4-2 win over Iowa on March 4 that Keilani Ricketts had given up a run, a streak that lasted 54 straight innings. In her last 10 starts, Ricketts has allowed just 39 hits and has struck out 85 batters. HOME SWEET HOME With its sweep of Kansas and a win in the first game of the Texas Tech series, Oklahoma extended its home winning streak to 13 games dating back to its final home game of last season. The Sooners are now 14-1 at home this season. Oklahoma has had eight home winning streaks of least 10 games, all under Patty Gasso. The Sooners record for consecutive wins is 45 as the Sooners did not drop a home game for two years, winning every game from April 14, 2000 to April 14, The longest home winning streak in a single season was 20 set by the 2007 OU squad as part of a 25-game winning streak.

Against Kansas on March 30, she did that and then some with her first career perfect game in OU s 8-0 five-inning win. Ricketts became eighth pitcher in Oklahoma history to accomplish the feat and joined classmate Michelle Gascoigne, who hit perfection last season against Appalachian State. RACKING UP THE Ks Keilani Ricketts didn t stop racking up the Ks after reaching the OU career plateau. After striking out 11 Missouri batters on April 22, the junior now has 16 double-digit strikeout games on the season. Ricketts has racked up 53 career games with at least 10 strikeouts and has eight games with at least 15 strikeouts including one game this season, 16 at UNLV, and the school record, 19 last season versus Iona.

The junior leads the team with a batting average of.391 and is tied for second with 12 home runs. Ricketts leads the Big 12 with an on-base percentage of of.539 behind 45 hits, 35 walks and three hit by pitches.

5 O K L A H O M A S O F T B A L L 5 ONE AWAY FROM PERFECTION Keilani Ricketts was just one out away from her first career perfect game against North Texas. Two straight walks were called for North Texas batters with two outs before Maddelyn Fraley s single broke up Rickett s no hitter in the bottom of the seventh. The game was the first of five one hitters that Ricketts now has on the season. Ricketts did it again in OU s first game versus LSU, retiring the first 19 batters before giving up her only hit with one out in the seventh. Ricketts recorded her third one-hit game of the season in OU s 14-0 five-inning win over Indiana on March 9 as the Hoosiers got one hit in the second. OU s win over Oklahoma State on March 28 gave Ricketts her fourth one hitter as the Cowgirls recorded their lone hit in the second inning. Ricketts returned to her one-hit ways last weekend against Texas Tech as she gave up just one hit in the game. Ricketts added her fifth one hitter of the year on last week in OU s 11-1 win over Oklahoma State. SAME OLD SHULTS Jessica Shults missed the last six games of 2011 after undergoing treatment for pan-ulcerative colitis. The junior slugger showed to be back to form in Las Vegas as she led the Sooners with 11 hits. Shults batted.611 for the event with a double, a home run and six RBIs. After a strong start to the season, Shults is third on the team in batting with a.371 batting average and leads the team with 53 hits. The junior is second on the team with 12 home runs and 98 total bases this season and now has 46 home runs for her career. That number is third all-time in Oklahoma history and sixth in the Big 12. Shults needs just two more slams to move to second in OU history and third in Big 12 history. Amber Flories ( ) holds both the Oklahoma and Big 12 career marks in the category with 56 career home runs. THREE NAMED TO TOP 25 LIST FOR PLAYER OF THE YEAR Lauren Chamberlain, Keilani Ricketts and Jessica Shults were all named finalists for the 2012 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year award the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) announced. OU joined Cal as the only programs to place three athletes on the list. Chamberlain is the lone freshman named to the final 25 as Ricketts and Shults were two of seven juniors on the list. Thirteen seniors and four sophomores comprise the remainder of the top 25 list for the award. For Ricketts, THE announcement marks the third time she has made the list of 25 finalists in her career while Shults has advanced to the top 25 for the first time in her career after earning top 50 honors each of the last three years. FIRE POWER Pundits knew going into the season that OU had an ace in the circle with Keilani Ricketts. The question was if Ricketts would be the lone star in the circle. With Ricketts and classmate Michelle Gas Can Gascoigne. who is 14-1 on the year, the Sooners have a one-two punch combination that rivals that of Manny Pacquiao. Gascoigne has given up just 15 earned runs and 56 hits on the year in 94.0 innings of action of fire power. Gascoigne leads all Big 12 pitchers in Big 12 games only with an ERA of 1.12, just ahead of Ricketts at No. 2 at Senior Kirsten Allen has proven a solid third option, throwing a one hitter against Austin Peay and striking out 18 in 15.1 innings of action for the season. HUNTING FOR GOOSE EGGS Nineteen times this season, Oklahoma has not allowed an opponent to score a run including five Big 12 opponents. Eight of the 19 have come in five-inning run-rule victories. The other 11, however, have come in a full seven-inning contest. Keilani Ricketts has pitched 10 of the 19 shutouts this season while Michelle Gascoigne has four and Kirsten Allen has one. Allen and Gascoigne have combined for four more shutouts. Ricketts has 33 career shutouts, a number that ranks fifth in Oklahoma history and seventh in Big 12 history. The junior is just eight shutouts from capturing the Oklahoma record for the stat. RANKINGS UPDATE After going 2-1 at home against No. 10 Missouri, OU rose one spot to No. 5 in the USA Today/NFCA poll while holding steady at No. 5 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll. In the NCAA s RPI, the Sooners moved up two spots to No. 5. STARING DOWN THE CHAMBER Just a freshman, Lauren Chamberlain certainly doesn t act like it. The first-year power hitter leads the Big 12 with 22 home runs through 46 games to go along with 57 RBIs. A good eye has allowed Chamberlain to accumulate 22 walks as she has 50 hits and 46 runs scored on the season. Chamberlain exploded with five home runs in three games against Kansas. The freshman picked up her second Big 12 Player of the Week honor after finishing the weekend with a.625 batting average as all five of her hits were home runs accounting for 10 RBIs. The Trabuco Canyon, Calif., native also picked up two walks and was hit by one pitch. AUSSIE! AUSSIE! AUSSIE! OYE! OYE! OYE! Oklahoma s first ever international player, Georgia Casey from Australia, had been hampered this season by an ankle injury but made her debut in the starting lineup against Iowa. After pinch hitting against LSU, she quickly made a presence in the OU lineup. After recording one hit in her first game, she blasted a two-run home run out of the OU Softball Complex in her second. The Australian is second on the team with a.378 batting average and has smacked six home runs in 32 games. WALKING WILLIAMS If Brittany Williams said to you Yo estoy desvelado, you d have to take her word for it because desvelado translated to English means watchful. The sophomore led the Big 12 as a freshman with 48 walks in 2011 and the watchful hitter is right back at it with 22 in Williams is currently ninth in the Big 12 in walks this season with 22 and is joined on the Big 12 list by Keilani Ricketts who leads the Oklahoma team with 35 walks, third in the Big 12, and leads the league with an on-base percentage of.539. EVOLUTION OF HENSON Used as the flex player for the majority of the 2011 season, the evolution of Javen Henson at the plate has been a big story in The sophomore now has seven home runs in her career, all this season, including three in two games against Oklahoma State. WHO ARE YOU FACING? Take a guess because in Oklahoma s 46 games, the Sooners have used 31 different lineups (see page 10). Only eight lineups have been used more than once and those lineups are a combined Sixteen different players have gotten a start for the Sooners this year and two have started all 46 games - Lauren Chamberlain and Jessica Shults. Thirteen different players have gotten starts at two positions with four different players starting at three different positions throughout the season.
