The No. 4-seeded Sooners fell to Washington 2-0 in game two of the Women’s College World Series on Thursday in Oklahoma City. It was only Oklahoma’s fourth loss in 59 games this season.
A brilliant pitching performance by Washington freshman Gabbie Plain silenced the Oklahoma bats and handed the two-time defending national champions only their second shutout loss in 43 WCWS games.
Oklahoma was held to six hits in the game, all singles, and only three of those hits left the infield.
Washington pushed across two runs in the top of the fifth inning, helped along by a couple of OU misplays in the field.
