Maya Brady, the niece of seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, put together a sensational performance at the plate on Monday afternoon to help UCLA softball temporarily stave off elimination at the Women’s College World Series.
Entering the day needing two wins against No. 1 Oklahoma, UCLA rode the bat of their centerfielder, who blasted two home runs in a 7–3 Game 1 victory. In handing the Sooners just their third loss of the season, the Bruins set up a win-or-go-home game with the winner due to advance to the finals of the WCWS.
UCLA jumped out to a 2–1 lead after the first inning before Brady opened up the scoring with a three-run homer in the top of the third.
