Oklahoma softball began the weekend well-positioned to win its fifth consecutive national championship. Now, the Sooners will end it trying to avoid elimination.
One day after falling to archrival Texas 4-2, No. 2 seed Oklahoma will look to continue its journey in the Women’s College World Series with an elimination game against No. 16 seed Oregon Sunday at Devon Park in Oklahoma City.
The Sooners, the four-time reigning NCAA champion and the highest remaining seed in the NCAA tournament, had been 3-0 against No. 6 Texas this season and had never lost to the Longhorns in the WCWS until Saturday.
Oregon, meanwhile, will aim to successfully fight off elimination for a second time after outlasting Ole Miss 6-5 Friday night in a marathon 10-inning victory. The Ducks lost their WCWS opener 4-2 to UCLA on a walk-off home run.
Sunday’s game will be a reunion of sorts. Oregon coach Melyssa Lombardi played for Oklahoma coach Patty Gasso with the Sooners and went on to serve as an assistant coach under Gasso for 21 years, from 1997-2018, before becoming the Ducks’ head coach.
