UCLA Softball Hits Walk-Off Home Run to Force Super Regional Decider vs South Carolina

In a dramatic NCAA Super Regional game, UCLA softball star Jordan Woolery hit a two-out, two-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the seventh inning to secure a 5-4 victory over South Carolina, forcing a decisive Game 3 for a spot in the Women's College World Series. UCLA rallied from a 4-1 deficit, with key hits from Kaitlyn Terry and Savannah Pola setting the stage for Woolery's clutch homer off South Carolina reliever Sam Gress. Woolery, who had struggled earlier in the series, delivered her 23rd home run of the season, extending UCLA's postseason stay. South Carolina had been on the brink of their first WCWS trip since 1997, leading throughout much of the game, with Lexi Winters contributing three RBIs. UCLA's Taylor Tinsley pitched a complete game, allowing four runs and striking out seven, while UCLA's offense was largely stifled until the late-inning rally. The winner of the upcoming Game 3 will advance to the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City.
