Beat Wisconsin in one of two potential games on Sunday and the Sooners would be moving on to the Super Regional round in the NCAA Softball Championship. Easier said than done.
Wisconsin, which had come from behind with a two-out, three-run walk-off home run to beat Notre Dame on Saturday night and earn the right to go up against No. 1 overall seed Oklahoma in the championship round of the Norman Regional.
The Sooners weren’t thinking beyond the early game with Wisconsin on Sunday. After all, OU had not lost in 41 consecutive games and hadn’t been beaten at home in 48 games.
