Social media reacts to Oklahoma Sooners epic 7th inning comeback win over Oklahoma State
Down 2-0 in the seventh, just when you were counting them out, the Oklahoma Sooners did like they always seem to do; rallied in the seventh inning to beat a rival.
Just like they did on April 1 against the Texas Longhorns, the Oklahoma Sooners overcame a two-run deficit in the seventh to beat another rival. Against Texas, it was Jayda Coleman and Kinzie Hansen coming through in the clutch. On Saturday afternoon in Stillwater, it was Alynah Torres bringing the Sooners within one and Tiare Jennings providing the go-ahead runs on a double to left-center to make it 3-2.
Cydney Sanders provided the insurance run to make it 4-2, and Kierston Deal picked up where she left off in the sixth and worked a 1-2-3 seventh to seal the victory for the Oklahoma Sooners.
Oklahoma moves to 48-1 on the season and remains perfect in Big 12 play at 17-0. They extended their winning streak to 40 games, surpassing their 39-game winning streak from the 2022 season.
With the come-from-behind win, the Oklahoma Sooners clinch the Bedlam series against Oklahoma State. The late-inning effort had Twitter buzzing and here are some of the best reactions from social media.
They went Beast Mode

Oop
You have to win seven innings before you beat anyone, but especially against Oklahoma. It saw the other dugout celebrating ‘victory’ and got a charge off it.

She's like that too
Deal has worked all season. Has learned from some of the best pitchers. Has the best pitching coach and head coach in the nation. Has the best team in the nation.
She excelled in this moment because she is talented, prepared and supported.

No quit, only fight
This goes back several years, but I’ve never seen a program with more resiliency than OU softball.
When the chips are down, that program, more than any other, rises to the occasion. It’s truly remarkable.

They don't stop
To be able to just turn it on in the 7th and erase a multi-run deficit on the road is just….
