LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 25: Rachel Garcia #00 of the UCLA Bruins hits a two-run home run against the University of Washington Huskies at Easton Stadium on April 25, 2021 in Los Angeles, California.
The top-seeded Oklahoma softball team responded from its WCWS opening loss with an 8-0 run-rule win over unseeded Georgia on Saturday to stave off elimination.
Oklahoma slugged three home runs, giving them a nation-leading 150 for the season, and fifth-year senior “G” Juarez shut down Georgia on three hits over 5 1/3 innings aided by 10 strikeouts.
Jocelyn Alo launched a two-run blast in the top half of the sixth inning to set up the run-rule victory, the Sooners 35th in 54 games this season.
