Oklahoma vs UCLA Preview
Rachel Garcia powered UCLA into the Women’s College World Series finals.
The redshirt junior pitched a 10-inning shutout against the Washington Huskies in the semifinals. She ended the game with a walk-off, three-run home run in the bottom of the 10th on a 1-2 count.
“I think just during that whole at-bat, I could just hear everyone behind me telling me I got this,” Garcia said, according to the Daily Bruin. “I’m not going to lie, I think I shed a tear a little bit. Just seeing everyone run out to the home plate just really put a smile on my face. I was just super excited for all of us.”
Garcia struck out 16 Huskies, allowing eight hits and four walks. UCLA center fielder Bubba Nickels went 2-for-5, the only Bruin with more than one hit and the only one other than Garcia to collect an extra-base knock.
“It’s amazing, we feel so good right now,” the junior said, per the Daily Bruin. “But we’re not done yet. We have a lot that we want to accomplish still. Today was tough, but it was a good way for us to be prepared for the next couple of days.”
The Bruins already hold the NCAA record for titles, with 11. The school has won 12, but vacated its 1995 championship due to recruiting infractions under former head coach Sharron Backus.
Last year, they reached the semifinals before falling to the Florida State Seminoles.
“I was very proud of our effort last year, you can clearly see [Garcia] was convicted; she wasn’t going to let that happen again,” head coach Kelly Inouye-Perez said, per the Daily Bruin. “That’s what it comes down to. Your ability to stay convicted. This team never gave up. This team literally continued to throw many punches. Washington is a legit team. Every time we play them it’s a dogfight and we knew that coming in.”
Oklahoma sustained a walk-off 1-0 defeat to the Alabama Crimson Tide in the semifinals, but responded by trouncing their foes 7-3 to punch their ticket.
The Sooners clubbed three home runs in the victory, bring their NCAA single-season record to 111.
Sophomore outfielder Jocelyn Alo hit a two-run dinger in the bottom of the fifth, junior center fielder Nicole Mendes added one of her own in the sixth, and freshman shortstop Grace Lyons added an insurance run with a solo shot later in the frame.
“I came into that at-bat knowing I was not going to be denied again,” Alo said, according to The Oklahoma Daily. “I just kind of dug down deep and that happened.”
