Oklahoma has its next opponent: The Clemson Tigers visit the Sooners in the super regionals of the NCAA Softball Tournament. The Sooners play the Tigers on Friday, May 26 at 1 p.m. CT and Saturday May 27 at noon CT. If necessary, the two sides would play on Sunday, but that time is still to be determined.
Oklahoma dominated its regional, outscoring Hofstra, Missouri and California 38-3. It looked every bit the national title favorite this weekend in Norman.
Clemson has had a great year and has been very good in the tournament. It dominated UNC Greensboro, 17-2, and won two of three games against against Auburn to survive.

Clemson is a very talented team and should challenge Oklahoma. The Tigers boast the No. 14 scoring offense, averaging 6.13 runs per game in 2023. Their 1.35 team ERA is second in the nation only to Oklahoma, which has an 0.80 ERA. The Sooners have been a juggernaut, and the Tigers play in a tough ACC, so they’ll be battle tested.
The winner will advance to the Women’s College World Series.
