The Oklahoma Sooners softball team continued its dominant ways winning its 49th straight game after taking down the Stanford Cardinals on Thursday.
On Saturday, the Sooners will take on maybe its toughest matchup all season in the Lady Vols of Tennessee.
The Lady Vols are led by senior centerfielder Kiki Milloy who leads all WCWS players in home runs (25) and slugging percentage (.975). Combine that with her team-high .425 average and 1.548 OPS, and she could cause major problems for the Sooners’ pitching staff.
Milloy is arguably the best outfielder in the nation. That debate includes Oklahoma’s Jayda Coleman. Coleman has a .422 average and a team-high 1.358 OPS. Her 16 home runs have her tied for 2nd on the team. But it’s her outstanding fielding that Sooner fans feel sets her apart.
This is also a revenge game for former Oklahoma OF and now Tennessee SS Mackenzie Donihoo. She’d love nothing more than to send her former team to an elimination game.
Here’s a look at the two sides as they get set for their game on Saturday.
