OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Florida’s pitching staff might finally have met its match in Oklahoma.
Florida hasn’t allowed an earned run in three games at the Women’s College World Series. The top-seeded Gators feature USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year Kelly Barnhill, NFCA first-team All-American Delanie Gourley and an experienced option in Aleshia Ocasio.
Defending champion Oklahoma counters with Paige Parker, a second-team All-American who was the most outstanding player at last year’s World Series, and Paige Lowary, who leads the nation with 10 saves and hits the mid-70s on the radar gun.
The best-of-three series between the programs that have split the past four national championships was set to begin Monday night.
