FSU loses to Oklahoma in bid for softball championship

OKLAHOMA CITY — Giselle Juarez threw her second consecutive complete game and Oklahoma won its fifth national championship, beating Florida State 5-1 in the Women’s College World Series on Thursday.

The Sooners had lacked a dominant pitcher heading into the series but Juarez answered the call, allowing one run on two hits in the decisive Game 3. Oklahoma won Game 2 6-2 behind Juarez, who went 5-0 at the World Series and was named Most Outstanding Player. She allowed four runs in 31 u2153 innings.

One bright spot for the Seminoles was the play of freshman Kaley Mudge, a Winter Springs High graduate, who set the record for most hits in a Women’s College World Series with 14.
