Women’s College World Series: Softball schedule, TV info for Sunday, June 1
Published:
The Women’s College World Series continues with Day 3 action on Sunday, June 1.
So far, the WCWS field has already been whittled from 8 to 6. Florida and Ole Miss went 2-and-barbecue. Two more teams will join the Gators and Rebels with a trip back home following Sunday’s slate of contests.
Oklahoma is 1 of 4 teams on the brink of elimination. The Sooners fell to Texas on Saturday evening, putting their streak of 4 consecutive WCWS titles in serious jeopardy. For Oklahoma to make it to the Champ Series, the Sooners will have to beat Oregon on Sunday and then best Texas Tech twice.
The Red Raiders appear to be in great position to reach the college softball championship series despite being seeded at just No. 12 entering this tournament. Texas Tech is led by ace pitcher NiJaree Canady, who has allowed just 2 earned runs in her last 28 innings since the start of the Super Regional round.
On the other side of the bracket, Tennessee and UCLA will face off in an elimination game on Sunday afternoon. The winner will have the tall task of beating Texas twice in order to reach the championship round. The Longhorns have one of the best offenses in the country and have seemingly rebounded from a late-season slump. Texas has won 7 of its last 8 games since the start of the postseason.
