Oklahoma’s return trip to the championship series of softball’s Women’s College World Series was delayed — if not denied — after the Florida Gators blasted the Sooners, 9-3, Monday to force an if-necessary game in the semifinals.
No. 2 seed Oklahoma, the three-time defending champions, and No. 4 seed Florida will now play a winner-take-all game on Tuesday for the right to face No. 1 overall seed Texas in the championship series. The Longhorns beat Stanford, 1-0, Monday night to eliminate the Cardinal.
Oklahoma is seeking to become the first school to win four consecutive NCAA Division I softball championships. The Sooners are also seeking their eighth title all time, which would tie Arizona for second most in NCAA history, behind UCLA’s 12.
Florida, which won back-to-back championships in 2014 and 2015, is seeking to return to the championship series for the first time since losing to Oklahoma in 2017.
