The stage is set and the Oklahoma Sooners will take on the Texas Longhorns in the championship series of the Women’s College World Series. Both teams were forced to play two games on Monday to advance.
The Sooners lost their first game to UCLA, forcing a winner-take-all matchup and Oklahoma responded with a 15-0 win to make their third-straight WCWS championship.
Playing out of the loser’s bracket, the Longhorns had to beat the Oklahoma State Cowgirls on Monday and did just that. They got a 5-0 win in the first game of the day and then paired a couple of three-run innings together late in the game to overcome a 5-0 deficit to move on to face the defending national champion Oklahoma Sooners.
