In order to continue the journey this season, though, the Sooners must first get by the Auburn Tigers out of the Southeastern Conference in the Super Regionals this weekend. That best-two-out-of-three series is being played on Auburn’s home diamond at Jane. B. Moore Field, beginning Friday afternoon (3 p.m. CT on ESPN2).
ESPN is calling the OU-Auburn Super Regional one of the dream round-of-16 matchups in the 2017 NCAA Softball Championship. The reason for that is because these are the same two teams that met in the championship final series in last season’s Women’s College World Series. The Sooners came out on top in that matchup, winning the deciding game in a nail-biter, 2-1.
