Oklahoma softball lives to see another game in the 2021 Women’s College World Series.
What appeared after the Sooners’ opening-game loss to be a most improbable task, OU is now just one win away from reaching the championship series.
Oklahoma rallied in the seventh inning, scoring three times to break up a 3-3 tie, and went on to defeat unseeded James Madison 6-3.
