Oklahoma Softball Eliminates Cal, Advances to NCAA Super Regionals

Oklahoma softball dominated Cal in the Norman Regional final of the NCAA tournament, securing a 12-1 run-rule victory in five innings to advance to the Super Regionals. The Sooners showcased their powerful offense with four home runs from Gabbie Garcia, Ailana Agbayani, Kasidi Pickering, and Ella Parker, who hit a historic 285-foot homer, contributing to an eight-run fourth inning—the team's highest this season. Oklahoma starter Sam Landry delivered a strong performance over three innings, allowing only one hit and one run while striking out three. Cal struggled offensively, generating just two hits, including a swinging bunt that led to their only run, and their pitchers were overwhelmed by Oklahoma’s battering. This win marks Oklahoma's continued dominance, as they outscored their regional opponents 31-3 in three games and now prepare to host the winner of the Tuscaloosa Regional for a spot in the Women’s College World Series. The Sooners, seeded second overall, look poised to contend for their potential fifth consecutive national championship.
