Not even the Oklahoma weather can slow the Sooners, who picked up their 52nd consecutive win to take Game 1 of the Women’s College World Series championship.
Their 5-0 win over Florida State was a dominant pitching performance from Jordy Bahl, who improved to 22-1. Bahl recorded 10 strikeouts and allowed two hits and a walk in the epic performance.
In addition to her pitching, Bahl helped the Sooners get on the board in the fourth inning, scoring from first on Kinzie Hansen’s RBI double.
Bahl still hasn’t allowed a run in the Women’s College World Series and hasn’t allowed a run in her last 24.2 innings pitched. It was her second shutout in a week. She blanked Stanford, 2-0, and also had double-digit strikeouts (11).
After being limited in the 2022 postseason due to a shoulder injury, Bahl has roared through the NCAA tournament and taken her game to another level in the Women’s College World Series.
In addition to Bahl’s performance, the Sooners received clutch at-bats from Kinzie Hansen, who had a pair of RBIs to continue her incredible postseason run. She’s hitting .500 in the NCAA Tournament with three home runs and 13 RBIs.
The Sooners are 60-1 and one win away from their third straight national championship.
