Oklahoma vs Florida State Preview
The Sooners enter this series on a 51-game winning streak, by far the best in the nation. Oklahoma handed Stanford a 4-2 loss in extra innings to move into the championship on the strength of Tiare Jennings’ bat. Jennings slammed a two-RBI double in the ninth inning to help the Sooners get to yet another championship.
This will be a best-of-three series, and it will be held at OGE Energy Field in Oklahoma City, so the Sooners may have the edge when it comes to crowd noise. Game 1 will take place on June 7, with Game 2 on June 8. If necessary, Game 3 will be played on June 9.
“We win a lot. And that’s fabulous,” Oklahoma coach Patty Gasso told USA Today. “But sometimes we’re so used to taking it for granted. This means a lot. This means a lot to get to the championship game.”
On the other side, Florida State handed the No. 4 Tennessee Volunteers a 5-1 loss behind Katie Dack’s three-run home run to get to this point.
“The ultimate goal when you get here is can you have everything firing on all cylinders,” Florida State coach Lonni Alameda said, via the Associated Press. “There’s no book written on how to do that. You have to go from your previous experiences, your upperclassmen, what you think they can consistently bring, how you can grow your young ones.”
The Sooners have won back-to-back national championships, while FSU is looking for its first title since 2018.
These two teams met once during the regular season, with the Sooners beating Florida State, 5-4 on March 14. This will also be a rematch of the 2021 WCWS championship, which Oklahoma won in two games.
