    OKLAHOMA CITY — All runs, no matter how historic, must come to an end. Oklahoma’s reign atop the softball world officially came to a close with Lauren Allred’s sacrifice fly to give the 12-seeded Texas Tech Red Raiders a 3-2 win at Devon Park. It’s the first time since 2019 that OU won’t lift a trophy at the end of the Women’s College World Series, and the first time since 2018 that Oklahoma was eliminated before the championship series.

    OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma bounced back from Saturday’s disappointment with a 4-1 win over Oregon. The reward? The No. 2-seeded Sooners get one of the nation’s best pitchers, NiJaree Canady, and her 12-seeded Texas Tech Red Raiders. And OU has to win twice Monday at Devon Park. “Yeah, JT (Gasso’s) got a lot of work to get going on,” Patty Gasso joked on Sunday night. The Sooners beat Canady twice at the 2023 WCWS when she was a freshman with Stanford. Things are a lot different now.

    OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma got it done. Again. The Sooners won their ninth-straight elimination game, fending Oregon off with a 4-1 victory on Sunday night at Devon Park. Veteran first baseman Cydney Sanders rocketed a pair of home runs to help lead her squad, which looks a lot different from the last OU group who had to pick themselves off the mat at the 2024 Women’s College World Series against Florida. Patty Gasso just wishes her team was as excited as her.
