OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — The Women’s College World Series championship teams are set, and it’s a Red River rivalry matchup: No. 1 Texas against No. 2 Oklahoma for the title.
The Sooners beat Florida 6-5 in eight innings in a winner-take-all semifinal Tuesday afternoon behind a walk-off home run by senior Jayda Coleman. The day prior, the Gators snapped Oklahoma’s 20-game NCAA tournament winning steak to force the elimination game.
