The Sooners beat Texas 11-1 in Game One and 10-2 in Game Two and has now outscored the Horns by a combined 130-34 in 21 consecutive victories over their Red River Rival.

Jennie Baranczyk didn’t have to look far to see a familiar face.

“My kids said, ‘Oh look, there you are mom and why is the Loyola coach on the building?’ ” Baranczyk said. “And so we had to say, ‘Hey, we re actually here together.’ And they were like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is so cool.’ ”

The Horned Frogs (19-7, 5-0 Big 12) went ahead early with six runs in the first inning.
“Yeah, she gave us a lot of momentum, honestly, that first inning,” said teammate
Lynnsie Elam, who hit two home runs. “She walked out there like the boss lady that she is, and we are so excited to see that. …
“We just love being able to back up our pitchers, and especially when they go out so confident. It fires us up in there on the offensive side so it gets us really excited and that s what she did tonight.”
That was bad news for Kansas pitchers.
The Sooners wasted no time getting their latest hit parade started.
