• BU's last win over the Sooners came on April 23, 2017, in Norman. Baylor won the first game of a doubleheader, 4-3, as <dfn><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10391"><span style="color:#154734">Gia
Rodoni</span></a></span></b></dfn><b> </b>took the win in the circle as she allowed three runs off five hits with two strikeouts in 5.0 innings of work. Baylor's last win over Oklahoma in Waco was April 13, 2014, by a final of 8-6.<br>
• Since 1996, Baylor is 1-12 against No. 1 teams. That lone win came on Feb. 8, 2009, at Florida (1-0). BU hasn't faced a top-ranked team since facing Oklahoma on April 7, 2013.<br>
• <dfn><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/coaches.aspx?rc=1633"><span style="color:#154734">Glenn Moore</span></a></span></b></dfn><b> </b>is one win away from recording 800 at Baylor. His is the program's all-time
