The Sooners have won three softball national championships in a row, making them the second team to accomplish that feat. However, Oklahoma has a chance to become the only team to win four national titles in a row. So, Oklahoma is looking to make history at the Women’s College World Series this year.

Despite entering the tournament as the second overall seed, Oklahoma has a tough first round matchup against #10 Duke. The Blue Devils have incredible pitchers on their roster, and the team has not allowed more than three runs in any of their last 15 games. Even when these two teams met at the beginning of the season, Oklahoma could only score three runs in their victory. So, this game will likely be competitive and low scoring.

The Sooners have plenty of great hitters throughout their lineup, as only one of their main starters has a batting average below .300. Meanwhile, Duke has four starters that have a batting average below the same threshold. So, Oklahoma has a clear advantage if today’s game becomes high scoring.

Although Duke is not consistent at the plate, the team has some incredible hitters scattered throughout their lineup. Claire Davidson and D’Auna Jennings both have batting averages above .400 for the Blue Devils, and they will need to perform at a high level to pull off the upset this afternoon.
