Oklahoma softball: Sooners blank Northwestern, move on to WCWS

A four-run third inning powered by a pair of Oklahoma home runs broke open a 1-0 game and gave the starting pitcher Mariah Lopez and the Sooners a commanding 5-0 lead. Senior Sydney Romero and Joceyln Alo hit fence-clearing blasts in the third. Alo’s was with a runner on base.

Grace Green, Big 12 Freshman of the Year and a finalist for National Freshman of the Year, senior team captain Caleigh Clifton and freshman catcher Lynnsie Elam all blasted solo home runs, giving the Sooners five in the game and a program record 107 for the season.
