National championship in the Women’s College World Series begins Wednesday

Oklahoma, Florida State will face off for the title.

The stage is set for the Women’s College World Series national championship series with the [autotag]Oklahoma Sooners[/autotag] and [autotag]Florida State Seminoles[/autotag] being the last two teams. These two teams met in the championship in 2021 where Oklahoma walked away with the national title.

Oklahoma has a 51-game winning streak, the longest win streak in collegiate softball history. They are defending their 2022 title as well, so there is a lot on the line for the Sooners. It took Oklahoma nine innings to defeat Stanford to head to the championship series.

However, Florida State didn’t need any extra innings to beat Tennessee, continue their undefeated Women’s College World Series tour, and advance to the title series. They downed Tennessee 5-1 in the national semifinal. The Seminoles won the national title in 2018 and are fighting for their second national championship in five years.

Florida State’s pitcher, Kathryn Sandercock, made school history when she pitched a perfect game against South Carolina to advance her team to Super Regionals. It feels like the Seminoles are on a streak and they might be the team with the advantage heading into the series.

The Seminoles and Sooners will play a best-of-three series to decide the 2023 champion.
