Oklahoma Defends Its Softball Title

Shay Knighten hit a three-run double in the second inning, and Oklahoma defended its N.C.A.A. softball title with a 5-4 win over Florida in Oklahoma City.

Knighten, who hit a three-run homer in the 17th inning to help win Game 1 on Monday, was selected the World Series’ most outstanding player.

The Sooners (61-9) took both games from Florida in the best-of-three series to earn their third N.C.A.A. title in five years.

The Oklahoma freshman Mariah Lopez (18-1) got the win in relief of Paige Parker. Alesia Ocasio (8-2) took the loss for the Gators (58-10).
