NORMAN, Okla. - Watch post-game video following No. 4 OU Softball's sweep over No. 7 Baylor Wednesday, April 18 at the OU Softball Complex.  The Sooners (45-5, 10-3) went to eight innings in the first game of the twin bill as sophomore Samantha Ricketts recorded a walk-off RBI single to lead the Sooners to a 3-2 victory in game one.

The Sooners had to come frome behind in game two as Baylor took the early lead with a three-run homer in the second.  However, Savannah Long's two-run homer in the bottom of the fourth changed changed the pace of the game as her homer tied it up at 3-3.  Amber Flores and Traci Dickenson put together two more OU  home runs in the sixth as OU went on to sweep the crucial Big 12 series with a 7-4 win.
