Oklahoma softball: Three takeaways from OU’s Saturday WCWS sweep

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 25: Rachel Garcia #00 of the UCLA Bruins looks on after hitting a two-run home run against the University of Washington Huskies at Easton Stadium on April 25, 2021 in Los Angeles, California.

Oklahoma softball eliminated Georgia and UCLA in commanding fashion on Saturday and advanced to Sunday’s national semifinals in the Women’s College World Series.

Having to play twice on Saturday after being upset in the opening game by this year’s WCWS Cinderella team James Madison, the No. 1-seeded Sooners showed their remarkable resilience with an 8-0 run-rule shutout over Georgia in the first game of the day, and followed that with another strong performance in defeating No, 2 UCLA in their second game of the day.
