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.
