That is the question most Oklahoma fans are asking themselves the day after an inexplicable meltdown by the Sooners, whose 16-3 hammering by a charged-up UCLA offense was the most runs allowed by OU all season and tied the biggest victory margin in the 19-year history of the Women’s College World Series championship series history.
After forging a sensational 48-2 record in the regular season, the best 50-game record in program history, the top-seeded Sooners are just 8-3 in the postseason, including losses in two of their last three games.
They now face elimination, something they have been up against two times before this postseason and overcome — against Wisconsin in the regional round and Alabama in the WCWS.
