After a one-year absence, the winningest softball program in NCAA history is returning to Oklahoma City.

UCLA advanced to the Women’s College World Series with a 6-1 win over No. 11 Georgia at Easton Stadium on Friday, winning the best-of-three super regional 2-0. The No. 6 Bruins will face No. 3 Tennessee or No. 14 Alabama in the first round of the World Series on Thursday.

Sophomore pitcher Taylor Tinsley pitched a complete game, giving up four hits with six strikeouts. She put an exclamation point on the victory by striking out Georgia pinch-hitter Sarah Gordon for the final out, ripping off her face mask and slamming it to the dirt with her blue glove.
