Oklahoma / Florida State Play for WCWS Title

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma can become the first Division I softball program in more than 30 years to win three straight national championships. Florida State ace Kathryn Sandercock — one of the nation’s top pitchers in recent years — stands in the Sooners’ way. Oklahoma (59-1) and Florida State (58-9) will meet Wednesday in Game 1 of the Women’s College World Series best-of-three championship series. Oklahoma is on a Division I-record 51-game winning streak and leads the nation in scoring, batting average and home runs. Sandercock has no reason to back down, entering the championship series with a 28-3 record, a 1.05 ERA and 10 saves. She is fourth in the nation in wins, second in saves and sixth in ERA. She also has been on this big stage before as Florida State’s ace in 2021, when the Sooners and Seminoles played for the title. Hear the Women’s College World Series Championship on WJPA-AM (1450) starting with Wednesday’s Game 1 at 7:45 pm.
