The Big 12 regular-season title will be on the line in a pivotal Bedlam matchup between the No. 1 Oklahoma Sooners and the No. 6/7 Oklahoma State Cowgirls. With the stakes and in what promises to be an incredible atmosphere in Norman, the three-game series has moved to ESPN for the big-time matchup.
According to SoonerSports.com, all three games will be aired on ESPN’s networks. The opener of the series can be seen on ESPN with first pitch scheduled for 7 p.m. C.T. Friday’s contest will be on ESPN2 and is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. C.T. Saturday is scheduled to air on ESPNU at 4 p.m. C.T.
Oklahoma comes into the final series of the regular season having a 45-1 record and have won seven straight after dropping the finale of their three-game set against the Texas Longhorns. Oklahoma State is 38-9 and is coming off a couple of losses to a top-five team in Florida State. The two sides hold identical 14-1 Big 12 records this season. The winner of the three-game set will hoist the Big 12 regular season title and be the No. 1 seed in the Big 12 tournament.
Oklahoma is looking for their 10th straight Big 12 regular season title and No. 14 overall.
Friday’s contest will be shown on ESPN2 at 6 p.m., prior to a 4 p.m. first pitch on ESPNU on Saturday. The network’s crew of Beth Mowins, Michele Smith, Jessica Mendoza and Holly Rowe will be on site and on the call. All three games can be heard on the radio via 107.7 The Franchise in Oklahoma and nationwide on The Varsity app with OU play-by-play announcer Chris Plank and alum DJ Sanchez calling the action. – SoonerSports.com
