**Texas Edges Oklahoma in WCWS Thriller, Sooners Face Elimination**
**Oklahoma City, OK -** In a Women’s College World Series showdown, No. 6 Texas defeated No. 2 Oklahoma 4-2 on Saturday thanks to late-inning solo home runs. The Longhorns’ power surge in the fifth and sixth innings proved to be the difference-maker after the Sooners battled back to erase an early deficit.
Oklahoma pitcher Sam Landry pitched a complete game, allowing three earned runs on eight hits. However, Texas pitcher Teagan Kavan was equally impressive, striking out eight Sooner batters en route to the victory. Ella Parker and Gabbie Garcia each tallied two hits for Oklahoma, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Longhorns’ late-game power.
The loss sends Oklahoma into an elimination game against No. 16 Oregon on Sunday at 6 p.m. CST, which will be broadcast on ESPN2. The Sooners are looking to avoid an early exit from the WCWS after a dramatic, walk-off victory against Tennessee earlier in the tournament thanks to a three-run homerun by Ella Parker.
The winner of the Oklahoma-Oregon matchup will advance to continue their quest for the National Championship. Jeremie Poplin, sports producer and digital sports liaison for News On 6 reported that Kasidi Pickering, Ella Parker, Sam Landry, and Patty Gasso reflected on gritty win.
