Social media reacts to the Oklahoma Sooners extra inning win over Washington
In the late game on Friday in Puerto Vallarta, Oklahoma and Washington treated observers to a fantastic game.
Though the Sooners jumped on top early, the Huskies rallied for three runs in the second.
The Sooners were kept off-balance by Ruby Weylan but finally broke through in the sixth inning when Riley Ludlam lifted a single over second. In extra innings, Rylie Boone provided the heroics to give the Sooners the 4-3 win.
In the circle, Nicole May battled before giving way to the Sooners’ bullpen in the fifth. Kelly Maxwell once again stole the show, keeping Washington scoreless for 2 2/3 innings with a pair of strikeouts. She worked around multiple scoring threats to keep the Huskies tamed.
The gutsy win improved Oklahoma to 3-0 and extended its winning streak to a record 56 games and counting.
It was a dramatic finish for the Sooners. Here’s how social media reacted to the Sooners’ 4-3 win over Washington.

Washington played tough
Major respect to Washington for what they were able to do tonight. Competing with Oklahoma is no small task, but here we are. UW capitalized when they needed to and nearly pulled it off. Heather Tarr's Huskies are all class. #MightyAreTheWomen

Kelly Maxwell has been nails
“Kelly Maxwell will choke in the big moments”
Comes in as relief, gets the #Sooners out of the jam, then shuts the Huskies out to keep the 56-game win streak alive in Extra Innings.
Absolute GAMER

Gutsy Win
RALLY ACHIEVED!
OU digs deep to overcome three errors and takes out an excellent Washington team in eight innings. This game will pay huge dividends for both teams!
PS – Kelly Maxwell is spectacular, y’all.
BOOMER!

Multiple Questionable Calls
Home plate umpire may have been out at beach with something cold and mixed in his hands earlier in the day. You don’t even have to wonder, actually.

Ruby Meylan made Oklahoma work for it
Ruby Meylan is a pitcher to know this season.
5 innings, 7 strikeouts, 2 hits, one walk.She was fantastic.

It was a poor interpretation of the obstruction rule by the umpire
Tagging the runner out who was beat by a mile is now obstruction. Got it👌🏽

Rylie Boone was clutch
Rylie Boone. Because, Rylie Boone.

Rose to the occasion once again
Down but never out. It’s been a theme for MANY years now with OU softball.
What a performance by Kelly Maxwell. What a two-out hit by Rylie Boone.
What a win! 56-straight.

Just know how to come through in tight spots
When the University of Oklahoma Sooners have two outs they are hashtag not fair.

All of IT
I’m not really even sure what IT is, but all great Patty Gasso teams have IT.
This team, through three games, has IT. #Sooners
