Unlike Monday’s opening game in the Women’s College World Series championship series, Game 2 was exciting from beginning to end and considerably more representative of a championship contest between the top two seeded teams.
The outcome of both games between No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 2 UCLA was the same– both ending in UCLA victories, earning the Bruins a 12th WCWS championship — even though the games themselves were quite different.
One was a laugher, a 13-run, behind-the-woodshed whipping. Game 2 was much more dramatic, the Bruins winning on a walk-off single by sophomore Kinsley Washington with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, scoring pinch-runner Jacqui Prober with the winning run.
