Tennessee, Oklahoma State Eliminate Ohio State, Indiana From NCAA Softball Tournament

The 2025 NCAA softball tournament saw Tennessee advance after a 5-0 victory over Ohio State in the Knoxville Regional, highlighted by Sophia Nugent's two-run homer and strong pitching from Sage Mardjetko and Karlyn Pickens. Meanwhile, Indiana's softball season ended at the Fayetteville Regional with a 16-8 loss to Oklahoma State after a tough 12-run third inning, despite early offensive efforts led by Taylor Minnick. Indiana had previously defeated Saint Louis but could not overcome pitching struggles throughout the tournament, finishing the season at 34-20 and marking their third consecutive NCAA appearance. Oklahoma State moved on needing to defeat host Arkansas twice to reach the Super Regional round. Additionally, Orange Coast College faced a double loss in the 3C2A Softball State Championships, struggling against College of San Mateo and El Camino, with notable performances from El Camino's Cheyenne Navarro and Lexi Ramirez. These results reflect a mix of strong offensive performances and pitching challenges across different levels of collegiate softball competition.
