Notes
- The current season only shows completed games with the occasional exception for the postseason. This makes database maintenance easier given that the schedule can be somewhat fluid given weather-related postponements and tournament play.
- Game-time rankings are available from 2018-present for OU, 1995-present for opponents. The source of the rankings is the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) poll.
- * = no-hitter, ** = perfect game.
- f = forfeited game.
