Jordy ball stalks the rubber Kaylee Mudge digs in from the left side of the plate here we go will the Sooners make it three straight will the nolles crash the party Jordy ball rocks fires first pitch strike right on the outer edge and a start time of 8 10 p.m. that is exactly 1 hour from when first pitch was slated to be no balls in a strike to Mudge ball brings at home missed a little bit out our home plate umpire is Tracy Lok Tom Meyer is at first Don Brown is at second and Danny Bowman is at third Don Brown will be the replay umpire he's wearing the mic so if any if either Lon Al Amita or Patty gaso challenge a call it'll be Don Brown at second to give us all the details here comes the 1-1 pitch from ball just a little bit low two balls and a strike what do you need to see here early from Jordy ball strikes strikes and good pitchers pitchers when she is ahead in the count um we're seeing Kaye Mudge be very patient right now to start this game Florida state is going to really just try to manufacture runs and string things together so it's so important for Jordy to have zero free passes and go right after these hitters two1 is fouled back evens up the the count of two balls and two strikes but Jordy along with that has got to throw two strike pitches we've seen it on both sides we've seen some of the U pitchers at times not have great two- strike pitches and we've also seen the Sooners take advantage of some two- strike pitches so the 02 22 one2 is going to be a huge count for Jordy Bal tonight here comes the two two pitch swing in a Miss Mudge goes down one away and that's exactly how you start a game the rise outside just flat out getting mud to wave it's a great start for Jordy ball that's how you set a tone here's Janai Kerr the center fielder very talented athletic center fielder three for n in this Women's College World Series has driven in a couple score to run herself has walked Twice first pitch from ball is bounced towards second cut off by Jennings throws a Crosser body to get Janai CER at first two away and when I say bounce towards second it was legitimately bounced towards the bag and Jennings went over and made the play and quickly there's two down in the top half of the first I feel like we saw jight ker put a ground ball swing on that pitch jordy's really used the rise ball a lot and we also had heard coach say in the pregame about how this is a team that tries to chop and use the dirt I think we're going to see a lot of that tonight part of the reason that we also see TR Jen Jennings shaded up the middle as much as we do here's Kaylee Harding first pitch to Harding swinging deep to right field Taurus has a beat on it makes a basket catch down the right field line in foul territory to end the inning and M so mck Leonard will get the start she has only th thrown three of the 19 20 Innings that Florida state has played in the postseason Maybe will eat my words that's fine I guess there's there's a small part I think it's the competitor in me that's a little bit ticked going throw your best please but um hey I don't know this team as well as coach Alam first pitch is a strike to Jada Coleman and the numbers in the postseason aren't all that impressive either for M Leonard especially here in the Women's College World Series in three Innings she's allowed a hit a run and is walked two the righty brings home the 01 it's a little bit in one ball and one strike I guess I just look at this this is the championship series you can't play necessarily to give give things away and when you have an All-American pitcher or any other pitcher that doesn't have almost a three er maybe that's who you roll with but 1-1 misses High we'll go ahead and set that Florida State Defense for you just underway scoreless game bottom of the first inning over at first base is the 25-year-old Bethany King she started her collegate her college career at 2016 her first softball playing year was 2017 the 2-1 is low ball three flarity is at second with Josie muffley at Short Kaye Harding is drawn in over at third Mudge is out and left and I curve very athletic center field way caser and right and edfield The Talented catcher behind the plate as Leonard brings home the 3-1 pitch to J Coleman and it's popped pretty deep to right center field ranging over though as cerr to make the catch just short of the warning track and there's one away Jada gave it a ride but Kerr had a beat on and Jada feels good about it you can see her she got a good piece of it and just missed it but as she's coming back she had that big grin on her face saying let's go [Music] the issue is you're only going to see you're only going to see Leonard for an inning yep if even that if the Sooners put a couple Runners on they'll probably excuse me they'll probably go right to S cat sandercott here's TR jinnings first pitch in for a strike Jennings what a comeback for her personally on Monday against Stanford and now oh I told they're they're taking the teams off the field I knew this was a worry as soon as this game got started man they're taking the teams off the field and at 9:02 p.m. we are back underway Oklahoma and Florida State scoreless in the bottom of the first inning here's the 01 pitch to jinnings a little bit in one ball one strike so this resumption was at exactly 902 they're spot on on the we will resume times not bad I'm impressed I just hope that we get to play longer than we did last time this game was delayed by about an hour as the 1-1 pitch to TI is popped down the right field line in foul territory out of the reach of Kean the first baseman way caser couldn't get there in time and Jennings falls behind a ball in two strikes the wind is a little bit more significant than it's been all night long blowing in slightly from Centerfield Trails Golf Club brings you our weather report online at Trails golf.com yeah I was thinking the exact same thing I'm going the wind is more of a factor right now than it was at 7:00 one ball two strikes the pitch to tiar she had a good cut and fouled it straight back say this Leonard does not have a lot of velocity but she's going inside we saw her go inside to Jada Coleman 45 minutes ago but just went back inside to tr Jennings and she's not an overpowering pitcher velocity wise but she's really hammering the inside corner Jennings is 3 for 11 with a run scored and of course the two runs batted in in the Women's College World Series has the one home run two the onew got her swing and two away and here's Haley Lee who is still looking for her first hit of the Women's College World Series she's 0 for eight you feel for Haley Lee as if it's about to happen at some point she has been so redh hot this whole postseason and then we've seen here a couple games here just getting a little bit of a slump if you will but really want to see Haley find a way on base doesn't matter how she does it find a way on base first pitch to The right-handed hitting Lee is a little bit out ball one because the overall numbers are really good for their motorcycle riding sooner designated player transferred here from Texas A&M making her first Collegiate appearance in the Women's College World Series here's the one pitch to lead hit pretty deep to right center field but Janai Kerr had a beat on it she's cut off by way caser all right fielder flashed in front of her and that'll do it for the Sooners to come out here and do on the other side I also expect to see Florida State use a lot of pitchers you've got to stay within yourself and stay with the game plan I think that that's going to be the biggest key in everything that the Sooners do this evening Michaela edenfeld will lead things off first pitch a little bit out ball one edfield has probably made one of the bigger impacts in this postseason and not just because she's hitting 375 with two home runs here in the Women's College World Series but her makeup routine has gone viral throughout this process the one0 pitch a little bit low in two balls and no strikes it is expansive to say the least it creative and the best part about it I mean you take the the look or whatever she's going for which it's it's awesome is they're showing her you know with with young softball players little kids um you know doing makeup and doing things and just reaching interests outside of the game a little bit is pretty cool 20 pitch misses a little bit up allall three this gets us intoed that moment where both pitchers coming in off a break a little bit longer for Jordy just because you know she only threw you know seven pitches in the first inning and then at least in the bottom half there was one batter to go through no excuses but as the three-oh pitch heads home oh swinging line back up the middle base hit edenfield says I'll go on 3 0 she swung on 3 0 Sunday Monday against Tennessee and fouled one off and proceeded to walk on the very next pitch but in this instance she he had a good piece of bat on that lining back up the middle first base runner of the game for either team here's Devin flare and might see the bunt in play here yeah Florida state uses the short game I'll say this edenfields numbers on the season only hitting 257 but she's really been hot in this Women's College World Series yeah first pitch lown away ball one Jord ball now fallen behind Jordy ball is now fallen behind the last two hitters and you hate to to bring up the delay but it she was sharp as can be in the first inning so she's got to get back get back there get back in it and settle in here early the one0 pitch loan away ball two keny Hansen's going to jog out here in chat with Jordy ball flarity has been the leading hitter in the postseason so for the whole NCA tournament flarity is hitting 360 this team hits a lot of doubles she has two of them in the Women's College World Series flare though just two for eight and of course her one hit is a double scoreless game top of the second inning after two lengthy delays here's the 2-0 pitch to flarity all three Jordan needs to settle down here in a lot of booze from the fans un happy about that call but she's got to find the Zone find a way to quit nibbling on the corners and I will say this here be heads up on the 3 0 green lights all the way around it seems like for lonni alam's crew here's the 3 pitch that's a strike three and one first strike jordy's thrown since we returned from the [Applause] delay this is something this team I mean you said it earlier plank the team hasn't really had to deal with delays like this so I feel like this inning is critical for Jordy find a way get out of this and then restart move on and get in the groove here's the 3-1 pitch to flarity strike two flarity thought it was ball four and started to move down to first base and after the Florida state seminal fans were making some noise the suer fans respond and now they all [Applause] [Music] St and wind whips blowing in from center field three balls two strikes big pitch here ball swing in a Miss after falling behind 3oh to edenfield she gave up the single after falling behind 3oh to Devin flare she strikes her out here's Mack Leonard who has she has struggled here in the Women's College World Series just one for eight in fact the next two batters in this lineup wayer and Leonard are a combined two for 16 and the only hit wer had was a home run on Monday Leonard first pitch swinging fouls at strike one and one thing about this Florida State team offensively they're not flashy they're I mean they absolutely are not I mean the numbers will not knock you off your feet but they rely on sort of that pass the bat mentality and stringing things together so for Jordy to get the strike out 3-2 a flarity is huge especially after the leadoff Walk Hard hit to short could be two will be two 6 four three ring them up head back to the Dugout no's inning over as we go to the bottom of the second inning of a scoreless game K9 Kinsey Hansen will lead it off first pitch from M Leonard is loow in for ball one DJ Sanchez Chris plank yes we're only in the bottom of the second inning because of a 1H hour delay to get this game started and then I think what we had tagged at a 42-minute delay we'll double check that number here's the 10 to Hansen hard hit foul kiny is the team's leading hitter in the postseason she is 12 for 24 three of those 12 hits are home run runs four extra base hits she is second in the NCAA tournament with 11 runs batted in and some of those have come in the biggest moments you can possibly imagine here's the 1-1 pitch missed a little low two balls and a strike it's a good take Leonard took a little bit off of that and you I get the feeling as I'm watching some of these setups she came inside to Kinsey Hansen as well she's really working in so she can try to set up the off speed two balls and a strike to Hansen Sooners looking for their first hit Hansen got a piece of that and fouled it [Applause] [Music] back pretty good little drop ball from Leonard I know I was I was a little I was a little hot earlier about the pitching and um you know Leonard is is is moving the ball well so far in this game and you've got to know that Florida state has a plan but um she's got pretty good stuff 22 is grounded softly to third nice play by Harding throws and got it one away Harding has been fantastic all season long but has committed a couple of Errors over there in the Women's College World Series looks smooth on that one away yeah one thing for Florida State and we heard coach talk about it as well they are a fundamental team and they do things well if they are going to want to take o you the distance defense is a place that they're really going to have to be sharp cuz I feel like we've seen this defense get a little bit sloppy from time to time here's Alysa breedo scoreless game bottom of the second inning breedo takes the first pitch for strike one brle hitting 391 in the post season it just kind of give you an idea of how not I'm not going to say deceiving but how less than impressive some of Florida State's numbers in the postseason are they only have four players that are hitting above 300 the go one pitch is in for strike two so they'll have four players hitting over 300 in the entire NCA tournament the sooner is in the entire NCA tournament have a majority of their starters that are hitting over 300 eight total players the 02 well that just missed one ball two strikes and the only player that starts that's hitting below 300 is Grace Lions Jada Coleman 333 Sydney Sanders 353 Haley Lee even though she's over for in the women's college rul series still 364 in the post season they onew to breedo a little bit out two and two Breo by the way 391 in the NCA tournament that would be the leading hitter for Florida State and she is fifth on the team for Oklahoma amongst the regular players sixth [Music] overall I think it really just points to as well I mean this Florida State team offensively they're not outstanding as that pitch misses up and out Full Count but they find a way to manufacture runs that's just what they do but I think it's also a testament to how good their pitching staff is as a whole and you know they don't give up a ton of [Applause] runs so after falling behind 02 Alyssa buredo has worked her way back to a Full Count the 3-2 pitch is a ripped foul down the left field line and into the stands burrito saw that one all the way really interested to see how this this offense adjusts cuz Leonard is just really hammering pitches inside and then using that drop ball out and changing speeds a little bit but Alyssa Breo I feel like that's the first pitch on the inner part of the plate that we've really seen a swing be put on it that's close to being on time despite the delays despite the weight barely an empty seat in this place nobody's going to work tomorrow [Applause] three balls and two strikes breida Waits takes ball four takes ball four turns and fires up for Dugout Here Comes Grace Lions soon's first base runner of the game comes after an 02 count on breedo who fights back to draw the walk that is the fourth walk of the postseason for burrito here is Grace Lions Patty gasso looks at the call sheet and we see the Sooners get mobile here a bit why not try to catch the defense sleeping nine of 10 on stolen base opportunities in the NCA tournament for Lions it's been a bit of a struggle here's the first pitch to G3 it's a little bit low ball one Grace Just Three for 19 in the NCA tournament but as lonni Alam is going to come out and chat here with Matt Len I brought this up so I put some numbers to it as breedo turns and asks for noise from the crowd and they bring it sooner on Deck hter Sid Sanders along with G3 and Alissa Breo will huddle with coach gasso and Hannah Sparks earlier this season Grace Lions was out of the lineup in fact didn't play the last time the Sooners played Florida State and when she returned on March 17th after a 1 for six slump and then getting healthy she won on a n game hit streak and increased her average from 341 to 422 also hit four home runs in that stretch on March 1st against Texas through March 11th against LSU Grace Lions went 1 for 13 but in the stretch of the next four games went five for 11 with a home run and a couple of runs scored in other words she bounc his back in a big way when there's a bit of a slump maybe Monday was the start of that with her double meetings are over burito back to First here's the 1 to Grace Lions headed home Lions takes Paul two off to Second goes burrito the throw is not in time the ball was in the dirt Aden field couldn't get a good grip on it she threw it skipped it to second base redo didn't get a great jump I don't think it was a straight steal she saw it in the dirt and said let's go get a base no it wasn't a straight steal it was just good base running reading the down angle and she saw it but as soon as she saw edenfield Bobble it she took off without any hesitation it's a big time play by burrito and it's a 2-0 count to Grace Lions first runner in scoring position for the Sooners here bottom of the second scoreless [Applause] game two balls and no strikes Grace is going to get a good pitch to hit here now she takes it a little bit in strike [Applause] [Music] one pitch was inside and we've I I've talked about it so much in this game so far that Leonard is really living on the inner half of the plate and you could just see grace Lions wasn't quite on time for it it's pretty good take not a lot she was going to do with it here's the 2-1 all up three and one that didn't miss by much it did not one other streak note for Grace lions in 2022 her numbers are amazing from last year she went on a two for 11 skid proceeded to start a n game hitting streak of course you so the captain does when things go south they can quickly go north if you will for her here's the 3-1 strike two and that's that same pitch that we saw Grace Take 2 I like though I mean Alysa Breo was an 02 count and saw a lot of pitches Grace Lions now working to a 3-2 count and seeing a lot of pitches they're making Leonard throw everything she's got here's a line drive deep down the left field line off the wall but foul that was smoked and about 4 feet to the left of her shot off cannedy in the ninth on Monday oh the Sooners are hitting M Leonard hard it is just a matter of time and no one's fooled I mean and I would expect to see something on the outer half unless she is really feeling gutsy to go back in but it better be in 3-2 is hit softly to short down on it nice play by muffley throws across and gets her burrito slid back into the bag kind of a few steps off muffley suffocated it and threw acoss to retire lines two away here for Sid Sanders in the 3-2 change up and you could see everything being set up in in in and then what a confident pitch from Leonard throwing a 32 off speed here's sit Sanders burito at second two outs oh you has been fantastic with two outs all season long here's the first pitch to Sanders that's in for a stri right on the outside corner I get the feeling with Sydney Sanders and she struggled a little bit in the Stanford game both Stanford games but that she is about one swing away from being right back in it I would agree no balls in a strike to Sid that's a little bit out we haven't talked too terribly much about the first time these two teams met MH Sid Sanders to kind of give you an idea of how much things have changed didn't even have an at bat in that game in completely different set of weather but it was freezing it was a little bit nippy on that night here's the 1-1 swinging a Miss on the off speed could pitch and Leonard's jumped out in front of ball in two strikes on Sydney Sanders and I feel like I've said this quite a bit in the Women's College World Series in postseason and really in general if there has been pitchers who can keep these hitters off balance it's using an effective off speed and you can really see Leonard playing into that the the conversation needs to be that she's going to throw it any pitch that ball skips good job by edenfield to get in front of it two balls and two strikes that ball hit before the plate and it was a backto back off speed so wouldn't be surprised to start seeing these U hitters start to sit in late Rhythm a little bit and take the change up away Sanders was two for five with runs scored and two runs batted in in the Super Regional just one for five in the Women's College World Series and take strike three right on the inside corner good pitch by Leonard and mck Leonard has held the Sooners without a hit through the first two innings we head of the third Oklahoma and Florida State are scoreless Jin Cammy the family checking in from I40 in Western Oklahoma Bob's listening in Holland Iowa let's get going here in the third shall we get back in the Dugout for the Sooners first pitch to wayer is low and in ball one wayer has one hit in the Women's College World Series one and it was a home run here against Tennessee on Monday night [Applause] one pitch bounced to third breedo backed up had an eater up picks it up no Play Wake haer will reach on what will likely based on how these official scores have been handling things this week in Aaron I think understandably so tough spot should have charged it usually place she makes that's routine and and Alissa burito knows it that's not something we normally see her do back up on a ball like that um you've got to attack that and get the high hop one thing we know burrito does well as response I don't expect that to bugger but that's very uncharacteristic the whole approach to it that's a routine ground ball if I said one hit in the postseason one hit in the world series for muffley that's her second as the first pitch is low and away for ball one to Bethany King one hit in the world series for wayer that was her second I'm really trying to confuse yall tonight here's 25-year-old Bethany Kean she homered here on Monday her first home run in a Florida State uniform and quickly Jordy ball falls behind two balls and no strikes one thing right now that feels in this game I mean last inning started off with a walk MH and then the air to wazer you just you feel as if there's just kind of not a flow yet 20 pitch swinging a Miss On The Rise two balls and a strike I say it started off with a walk going three 0 and then getting up a single so my mistake but it just doesn't quite feel like there's a flow defensively or in the circle yet for the Sooners and and Jordy did a great job of getting out of that jam but really want to see on the defensive side of the ball this team just kind of get in a Groove a little bit cuz it just feels a little little bit out of sorts here's the 2-1 swinging a Miss strike two two balls and two strikes and a good opportunity for Jordy to get in the swing of things cuz that was a good pitch that she threw it awayer and then here to ke 22 two strike count so no better place to get in the swing of things than the 789 hitters Keen waights ball rocks and fires Miss slown away Full Count I mentioned kean's 25 years old her first year at college softball was 2017 she was at USF she got injured in 2018 so that was her red shirt season she had a medical hardship season and then had a CO season long career how she's still in school in 20123 she's going to have a doctorate the 3-2 pop foul back and out of play she's had uh let's see one she's had two red shirt senior seasons and she transferred to Florida State in 2022 and really didn't play all that much she was an everyday starter for USF and then transferred to Florida State in 2022 and is just now starting to get a few extra ABS in this FSU lineup here's the 3-2 pitch to ke got her swinging Jordy took a little off it ke drilled herself in the ground there's one away it's a big time pitch and it's not even close to Keane there are a few things that I love more than a 3-2 change up and that was a beauty sooner CK is in Trussville Alabama Amy vulker reigning in chock but way out of the 8 mile range Tim scries in Lexington appreciate everyone tuned in tonight as Josie muffley a member of the ACC all tournament team digs in runner goes Hansen throws High stolen base hiy wayer gets what at least from my research is the first stolen base on the sooner since the Baylor series and that's what Florida state will do and wazer that's her ninth stolen base of the season and that is how they apply pressure and you could see when she got a great jump and she it's not that wazer is is wickedly fast she just got a great jump the one is popped into center field easy for J Coleman a couple of steps in and there's two away and Florida State turns its lineup over to the top and here's Kaylee Mudge who has the NCAA record for most hits in a Women's College World Series that went back to 20 21 when she went all kinds of crazy thankfully not enough to knock off the Sooners the Lefty was a strikeout victim way back in the first inning first pitch low ball one this is just such a huge place you've got Florida State doing what they do finding a way on base with the air taking a bag and then rolling it back to Mudge arguably one of the best hitters in this lineup with a runner and score scoring position this is this is how Florida State operates this is how they get runs on the board so huge place here for Jordy ball 1 is pop foul and out of place you're welcome 2021 Women's College World Series all tournament team broke the record with her 14th hit in that third and final game against Oklahoma [Applause] and in a big spot here early in a scoreless game here's the 1-1 strike two good pitch on the Inside Edge such a good spot and one thing I do notice about it though kiny Hansen was set up outside and that pitch broke in so I'm curious to know if that was a it looked to me like a miss spot regardless you take the called strike but keny Hansen was not set up for that pitch at look like it crossed her up a little bit the onew from ball swinging a foul straight back Mudge by the [Music] way is in her final season I believe nope she has another year of Eligibility I apologize her freshman season was 2020 so if your freshman season was 2020 you still have the co I wouldn't want to be the one having to figure out all of it still get confused F by it here's the one-w pitch to Mudge little low two balls and two strikes sooner is trying to work around a lead off air by Alysa Breo over at third Mudge looking for a little two out Florida State magic which has been kind of their theme this whole postseason the two two pitch to The left-handed leadoff hitter is fou straight back Mudge by the way in the NCA tournament is the second leading hitter on the team hitting a little under 350 after her first at bat she's 10 for 29 and in the Women's College World Series Mudge is 341 but has scored a run jordy's really going after her with two strikes she got her swinging back in the first on the rise ball and she's thrown it twice here and mud the both rise balls have been out of the zone and haven't been strikes and mud has fouled them both back two two fouled again this one just pounded into the dirt Jord trying to change speeds you can't hasn't been able to get her with the rise ball and you can see Mudge attacking it with her hands high and just getting enough of it and then going back with the change [Applause] up two balls and two strikes the pitch fouled Again by mud this is one heck of an a bat this is one heck of a battle between Jordy ball and Kaylee Mudge and Jordy just through backto back off speed pitches you get the feeling she'll go back to the rise here but Mudge is doing a pretty good job of keeping her hands high and trying to stay on top of it may not be a bad time to pull something different out of her pocket and maybe change the eyes down hard and [Applause] in here's the two two pitch from Jordy ball cold strike three sits down Kaylee Mudge and ends the Florida state threat and is in Lander Texas and Alina Torres leads things off in a scoreless game bottom of the third first pitch strike real quick Kindle up in aaso Jaylen listening in in wakeo Ryan is listening in with his dog pretzel in Yukon I don't know how you guys get your dogs to settle down while you're listening to the game I have some very very poorly trained dogs same here's the oall one strike pitch High one and one to Alina Torres who's sitting 342 on the season couple home runs 22 runs batted in in some key moments here and this is a spot in the game and I know that Torres and Boon have not faced Leonard yet but the bottom part of the lineup has really done a good job of kind of being the rally starters and stepping up so really big spot here for Torres and Boon to hopefully get something moving 1-1 grounded sharply to the right side backhanded by flarey at second throw to first one away and here's Riley Boon even with one out such a spot here for Riley Boon to do some do what she has done so well she has been like a second lead off and so many different ways here for her whether she's laying down a bunt or using the chop or just hitting a double in the Gap but she needs to kind of Channel some of that leadoff hitter that she has has been showing so much and kind of being in the middle of all these rallies 429 average in the NCA tournament for Riley Boon first pitch checked her swing on strike one right over the outside edge just you feel like Riley Boone has been right in the middle of of everything for Oklahoma in about any rally they've had mhm wouldn't minder starting one here in a scoreless game in the bottom of the third [Music] inning here's the pitch taken up and in one ball one [Applause] strike boy it is ended up being a very pleasant night and all of the lightning strikes that were concerning to start this game and that we were seeing numerous off in the distance have dissipated you got a pleasant night if you had a ticket here this evening 1 one is line towards the Gap in right center field and deep it'll hit the base of the wall Riley Boon is Off to the Races and in with a one out double and that is what Riley Boon we just talked about it that is what Riley Boon has done all season find a way to get the party started and pass the bat and roll the lineup over to J Coleman she's so cool and she was amped she is so cool that is her sixth double this season and she just went down and got a low pitch and engulfed it into the Gap in right center field it hit at the base of the wall and stuck there and what's crazy about it is had she been feeling a little salty that could have been a triple but you got to play it safe here cuz anything that touches the grass scores Boon immediately cat sandercock is up in the floorida State pin first pitch to J Coleman is outside ball one but you could see a little bit after Boon went into second base she very well could have could have stretched that to a triple well she's not quite that's not cat sandercock in the pin I apologize that's McKenna re that's getting up and throwing the 1 oh check swing foul a ball in a strike Coleman can't believe it oh yeah it is okay they got they' got the one side of the bullpen that's hidden from us and that is sander coock warming up on the far side I believe surprise TV hasn't given us a shot of it yet maybe they have one ball one strike Jada flyed out deep to center field he her last time up the pitch up high two and [Music] [Applause] [Music] one really want to see the Sooners take advantage of having Leonard in the circle right now and going through now this is J Coleman's second time to see her runner in scoring position take advantage of having Leonard who does not have a lot of experience under her belt this season and find a way to push a run across 2-1 is popped up a mile high be home behind home plate there is room and the catch is made for out number two by edfield a frustrated Jada Coleman heads back to the sooner Dugout and here's TR Jennings and that's the same pitch that Jada flew out back in the first and she's ticked rightfully so that's not a pitch that she should be overpowered by and just getting getting jammed in on the hands but what a spot here for TI we are scoreless in the bottom of the third inning that's right still in the third Boon though with a one- out double stands at second with two outs Haley Lee Waits on Deck Jennings struck out in the first takes the first pitch high for ball one kind of surprised by how shallow Haley wazer is in right field now she moves oh she stays relatively shallow and way off the line they're giving Jennings that right field line if she wants it and L Alam is going to walk out and chat here with Matt Leonard I don't know if they're ready to make a change on the with two outs in the third but Leonard Leonard seemed to be confused by something and so Lonnie's like let's just talk about this well Leonard's thrown well I mean you can't if you're going to roll if you're not going to throw your Ace you better roll with who you put out there I will say that especially when she's throwing a pretty good game so far oh shouts out to our buddies Steven and Bridget York there tuned in from Chaw as always Crystal font is in more we got a shout out our guy Richard Martis and all the great job he always does at sooner Vision Ellie beum my niece and her friends tuned in with the black widows and Wood River Illinois look at this even my steps sister Alicia stall cup has checked in tonight Doug Hawley is always or Doug Hamilton is always with us in Hawley Texas Ted aan Boomer buz saww and ba thanks to everyone for hanging with us tonight and a reminder to join the trophy club soonersports.com Trophy Club all right meeting is over Leonard still in runner second two outs here's the 1 to Jennings try to check her swing on a ball in no they're going to say she went Patty gaso throws her arms in the air in disbelief there have been some questionable calls this week um not just in in OU games all weekend to say the least and that's tight and watching it on the replay it it's I didn't I never see the barrel cross the plate but here's the 1-1 pitch to The sooner second baseman swings and lines it to first off a hop a nice play by Keane she beats Jennings to the B and that'll do it for the Sooners they get their first hit the Strand their second runner of the game and as right we're only in the fourth inning so they still got a ways to go but okoklahoma like to see them get things going at the plate they got to get back there first Janai cerr takes strike one as we start the fourth with Jordy ball pounding the Zone cry grounded out to second on a heck of a play by TR Jennings in the first yeah that for a lot of middle infielders it would have been a single but tiari Jennings fied that ball almost directly behind second base but I love to see Jordy get ahead first pitch here in the fourth the 01 is is a little bit low one ball one strike I have been uh I've been corrected by both Jessica Bame who's Ted in tonight and Whitley Simmons it's not sandercock that was warming up in the pin form it was actually McKenna Reed and Allison royalty and Allison royalty hasn't even thrown in the World Series yet the 1-1 is a little bit low two and one I guess you don't have to worry about her if you're holding this sooner offense at Bay and get sander Cox some rest here whatever the plan is so far it's working it's working and I'm not saying I want them to bring Katherine sandercock into this game I don't I want to see the Sooners figure out M Leonard I will say I might go warm up in the bull they start bringing in picturers that haven't thrown 21 is bounced softly towards the circle ball dropped it as she tried to tag it Jordy was in Phase headed towards the basine and as she scooped it to try to Ager she dropped the ball there have been some unar characteristic mistakes for the Sooners here tonight the error by burrito and that right there from Jordy ball and what should be an error and it was a good job of bouncing off the mound I think she had the opportunity even just to turn around and do kind of a shovel to first base to Sydney Sanders they haven't scored it yet I think the only reason they're discussing it is because it was back to a pitcher and Jordy ball is not your typical pitcher but that's an air Jordy ball knows it first pitch to Kaylee Harding is in for a strike and that'll be the second error on the Sooners here tonight in all the conversations we've had about this matchup talking to former Florida State stars like Alex Powers people involved the program it felt very good about their chances against U but knew U needed to play a less than perfect game that's what they're getting here tonight no question here's the 01 pitch to Harding a little bit low one ball one strike well we've seen the two the two airs defensively we've also seen a stolen base on really something that wasn't a close throw Grace Lions went up and got it to keep it on the infield on a stolen base and offensively so far we're not really seeing that attack mode from these hitters so it feels it doesn't quite feel like the seniors are in control yet 1-1 swinging a miss one ball and two strikes now we will be keeping an eye over at First Base Florida state has already stole a base tonight Janai Kerr is 14 for 16 and stolen base opportunities of the starters tonight she is third on that team on that list if you're Florida State you've got to try to take advantage too of defensive Mis cues here's the onew pop fouled down the right side that'll get out of play one way you take advantage of a defense that looks a little bit out of sorts is to continue to apply pressure you apply pressure by taking off on the base paths our buddy Jerry iSell did report to me what coach gasso said to ESPN about the weather delay qu quote we live in Oklahoma so we've been in these positions before it's nothing new to us but we're trying to square it up and get a feel it's early in the game and I'm not worried coach casso isn't worried I'm not worried but a nice little 643 double play could do wonders for my worry the pitch bounced foul at the play it's a good spot up and in one thing these Florida State hitters like to do is put the ball on the ground even we even heard coach gaso say it which I feel like is why we are seeing so many rise balls from Jordy now it's one of her better pitches but she's really twisting these Florida State hitters up and forcing them to put the ball in the air foul off pitches one mall and two strikes the next pitch for Jordy is are 49th here it comes it's low evens the count at two balls and two strikes scoreless game top of the fourth inning the game started an hour late due to lightning and weather delays and we had a relatively short delay of about 45 minutes after the top of the first inning kiny Hansen came popping out from behind the plate that ball was in the dirt a little bit and she came out hot making sure kurr didn't take off here's the two two pitch swing and a miss big pitch by Jordy b as she gets Harding for the first out of the inning the change up has been key for Jordy in this game so far she's really using the rise ball a lot and then getting these Florida State off Florida State hitters off balance with the change up it has been such a huge pitch for her and she's going to have to keep using it throughout this game edenfield has the only hit for Florida State she took a 3oh pitch back up the middle first pitch from Jordy ball is fouled off to the right side for strike one she is definitely the power source in this Florida State lineup on the season edenfield has had 13 home runs but again it's a team that just well not I'm not going to mention they don't want home runs but as compared to Oklahoma the Home Run numbers wouldn't blow you away they have just [Applause] five in this women's but they have five in this Women's College World Series one one of them from edinfield yeah that was a bomb oh one pitch misses low and in one and one as Hansen stairs Kerr back to first base Kerr just took a massive jump on that pitch I mean she was a third of the way to second base was a huge lead here's the 1-1 pitch as Jordy ball stares in on Michaela Edenville as the only hit for Florida State and they hit her right on the leg I mean Square on the knee and Florida state has multiple Runners aboard for for the first time [Music] tonight I'll say this as I'm looking the stat line so far for Jordy is really odd because she's given up one hit but Florida state has had multiple runners in scoring position they've all gotten there via air or free pass and that's that is not not something we typically see from this team [Music] Devin flarity first pitch Line Drive foul that one down the left side is Kinsey Hansen gets a new ball from our home played umpire Tracy lck Tom Meyer over at first Don Brown at second Danny Bowman at third flarity a strikeout victim in the second inning that was after the single by Michaela [Applause] edenfield no balls in a St right second time Florida state has put a runner in scoring position here today and there's another foul ball in the exact same spot good pitches good to see Jordy working ahead and really she hasn't been in too many positions where she's behind and counts I mean even to edenfield I mean she she hit her on a pitch where she wasn't necessarily in a tough spot but [Applause] payoff pitch here I just you feel Florida state is trying to take away the rise ball you can see it in their swings just trying to get on top of it somehow similar to what we saw you oh you trying to do against cannedy first and second one away top of the fourth Florida State threatening in a scoreless game the pitch from Jordy ball fouled straight [Applause] back and that's another rise ball and typically we see that pitch with a swing and miss and we're seeing a lot of foul balls on it which is forcing Jordy to throw something different now she's had success with the off speed that pitch has been deadly tonight but they're also forcing her to come back into the Zone with something else it's an 02 count to flarity this hasn't always been a good count for the Sooners here this weekend Jordy brings it home bounce to the the right side Sanders on the big hop will take it to the bag for the out and there's two away Kerr moves on to third edfield to Second and here's mck Leonard who hit it hard the last time but right at Grace lions and that's a I think that play will be under celebrated because it looked so routine but that's something as deep as Sydney Sanders was playing that could have gotten dicey real quick with the Hop so she did a really good job of attacking the ball and catching the Hop and not trying to sit back on it had she sat back just a hair that ball would have eaten her up here's Mack Leonard has a chance with two outs but Jordy ball pounds The Zone with strike one like she took a little off it 61 mph I'd say so no balls in a strike to Leonard who again grounded into that 463 double play but has struggled in the post post season specifically the World Series just one for nine here's the 01 pitch from Jordy ball line drive down the line foul just foul she was full too but got enough of it to poke it down the right field line but pulled it a little bit too much and it's an 02 count and it wasn't a change up it was very similar to to the pitch that opened the count of just having a little bit taken off of it so jordy's doing a really good job of mixing speeds but a big spot here and we've seen Jordy ball rise in these these situations here in Oklahoma City this week here comes the O2 pitch from ball swing and a miss ball rips her face mask off a big high five to Kinsey Hanson and the inning is over and and we are scoreless oh you just one hit and as committed two errors so far neither has cost them a run he flyed out to right field in the first and takes ball well the she jogs down to first like she was hit and the home plate umpire called her back now Patty gasto is going to have a conversation with the home plate umpire so I don't feel like this is something we've seen is this something that can be challenged cuz Haley Lee came back and said it hit me you can challenge a hit by pitch let's see if you got her oh yeah it hit her it hit her in the thigh you can see it this will be the quickest challenge we've ever had and it was it's no question and I will say this what a mistake and I know but what a mistake by Home Plate umpire Tracy Le cuz that was it was visible the thing that stinks is um Oklahoma has to challenge this and they shouldn't here you go yes see just and it's it's big but it's a wasted Challenge on a horrible job of umpiring behind home played by Tracy Lok in a tight game where you very well might need that challenge but what a great job by Haley Lee which you didn't have to have such a great job I mean it Flatout hitter in the thigh so what a terrible job by Tracy Lok you can't miss that not not on this stage not ever but you can't miss that Haley Lee is fired up she got to the bag now she's going to be replaced by pin Runner and that ping Runner is Jordy ball that's the beauty of the flex you're able to take cuz Jordy Ball's sitting in the tin slot the flex spot and pitching which means her and Haley Lee essentially are connected mhm so you can Flex her up and not even have to use a substitution and that's going to be it for mck Leonard I mean what an outing for Leonard All Things Considered you couldn't ask for anything better if you're a Florida State fan it's her longest outing and they're going to go with McKinna Reed M Reed will get the call here for Florida State and overall the numbers on the season for McKinna Reed 13 and0 this is her 43rd appearance a89 ra 91 strikeouts to 22 walks here's h first pitch to K9 a little bit up and she's a different look Lefty and that pitch I know it was a ball but it was right down Lindsay to steal a plank but what a spot for Reed here one ball no strikes to K9 Kinsey grounded out to third her last time up here's a 1 pop foul down the right side that'll get a few rows up and I mean this game starting to get a little bit deep and you're in the bottom of the fourth you start looking at what's coming down the line I mean you're you're in a position to where you could enter sandercock into this game right now and she's only going through this lineup once but you just feel like this is an opportunity for OU again take advantage of not having the All-American sandercock in circle 1- one is line towards left center field it's down it's to the wall Jordy B rounding third she'll score Oklahoma takes a one- nothing lead on an RBI double from Kinsey Hansen on a laser to the wall Jordy B scored from first base on that and it wasn't even close at home in fact Florida State didn't even make the throw and right on on Q talking about taking advantage of them entering Reed into this game keny Hansen makes it look easy on a pitch I mean that was right down the middle not much movement to it it was a curve ball and it definitely did not get inside but I'm going to say it right now I don't know how if you're Florida State you don't have sander coock in the circle this laid into the game one nothing Sooners Oklahoma breaks through in the bottom of the fourth inning here's Alysa burito will walk her last time up first pitch to Burrito little bit up ball one keny Hansen has just been electric coming through in the biggest moments and there's another one boy Kinsey Hansen you you can't say enough about what she's meant to this team in the postseason that is her 12th RBI of the NCA tournament [Applause] 12 here's the 1 pitch to The sooner third baseman did she no just dropped by The Catcher And off the third goes Hansen burrito had checked her swing it's a ball and a strike thought it was a foul ball but it was not and I would want to know was that on the call or on the check swing because okay it's a strike I He just flat out miss it we' we've now Florida State's going to come together in the circle the Sooners have a runner a third on the pass ball we've seen that a few times in this tournament um the Tennessee catcher had all kinds of problems with the ball popping out of her glove edinfield had it happened three or four times against Tennessee here on Monday night yeah and not mistakes you expect to see um on this stage but it happens it happens that was actually an off speed pitch just kind of caught her at the end of the web meetings are over Reed stars in the Lefty here's the 1-1 to Breo o Breo had a cut and fouled it straight [Applause] [Music] back one it Sooners bottom of the fourth and nobody out nobody out I mean just so many different ways for burrito to get this job done and one run on the board right now manufactured now it was aided by a hit by pitch but nobody cares but such a such a spot here for burrito to play the game find something you can handle to do enough to get keny Hansen to score the onew is hammered but fouled down the left field line and into the second row oh she smoked another one [Music] foul we said it earlier against Leonard it was just a matter of time but as soon as she went to The Dugout the sooner bats courtesy of Kinsey Hansen showing some life the one-w pitch looped shallow right field it falls for a hit Kinsey Hansen scores it's two nothing Sooners on the RBI single to right field by Alysa Breo and just a good piece of hitting keeping her hands inside the ball and kind of doing a little bit of an inside out swing to the other side of the field again something she could handle to get the job done great piece of hitting by Alysa burito I start to wonder if Florida State's one ing in second guessing of whether or not they should have brought Reed into this game I'm not complaining but I mean when you've got sander coock in the stable on a Zer Zero game and you don't use her that's on you here's Grace Lions G3 grounded out to short her last time up first pitch is a bunt and it's a beauty the only play is going to be to First the sacrifice Works she doing her job and Grace Lions we've talked about it a lot has has struggled here as of late at the plate but what a great job of playing the game and getting the bunt down give credit to Florida State on this front they were very much aware that breedo was heads up trying to get to third because both Harding the third baseman who made the play and edenfield were standing on the third Bas bag to be safe that was a rocket out of the hand of Harding to if flarity would have missed that that ball might still be rolling down into the corner here's Sid Sanders strikeout victim in the second first pitch takes strike one tilt your head a little bit not a strike in your mind it's outside it's a good take I mean that's not really a pitch that Sydney Sanders can handle unless she's absolutely on time but it looked like edinfield really had to reach for [Applause] it here's the no ball one strike pitch to Sanders popped up a mile high shallow right field racing in is wazer wazer makes the catch and there's two away and Elina Torres who has been clutching these moments the Sooners are going to add to their two-run lead with a runner at second and two outs they're going to need something with two outs from Molina [Music] Torres she took the ball the other way back in the second inning third inning we got back to her quickly but Torres has just done a good job of staying collected in the [Music] Box first pitch in for a strike mening that ground out in the third Sooners bats have come to life here in the bottom of the fourth and this all started on a leadoff hit by pitch on a play they had to challenge no balls and one strike burrito stands at second the pitch to Torres reaches bounces it slowly towards the circle the throw is not in time it got away from the first baseman King and Alyssa bito will score the hustle and making something happen on a pitch that she was fooled on and in all of that as Reed was coming out of the circle she took her mask off as she's going for the ball dropped it it it took time and away from her making the play I mean she was very deliberate in taking her mask off as she was making the play and Torres slid head first into first that caused some chaos for Keane trying to scoop it they're going to give a single to alinaa Torres and charge an air on the throw for McKenna Reed it's three nothing Sooners what a hard-nosed play hard noosed all hustle and finding a way to get the job done and that's what you have to do in these situations here's Riley Boon she's one for one with a double first pitch in for a strike Lefty Lefty matchup here from [Applause] [Music] Reed J Coleman on Deck mcken Reed's mask could have very well fallen off I feel like I saw her with her mask in her hand I didn't see the replay but it looked as if she had it and dropped it the 01 pitch to Boon running up the box takes ball one that line shot from boon with one out in the second you kind of thought was the jolt this offense needed but all that was to lead off the uh with one out in the third excuse me boy we are getting back around this lineup quick we'll take it but unfortunately U wasn't able to do anything with it there's a Looper on the infield easy play for flare calls off everyone makes the catch and that'll do it in the fourth but oh what a fourth inning it was for the Sooners the lead off hit by pitch the RBI double from Kinsey Hansen the bloop single RBI from Alissa breedo and Ena Torres with the infield single that scored burrito and my man TJC with TJ Sanchez I'm Chris plank three nothing Sooners as we head of the fifth inning it's late it's late in Oklahoma City but as hi wayer leads things off a one two3 inning would be just what the doctor ordered here for the Sooners first pitch swing and a miss strike one you follow up a crooked number with a filthy change up to open up a count expecting Florida State to come out aggressive this is where Jordy ball takes control of this [Applause] game here's the 01 pitch from the sooner Ry swings and hits it to center field J Coleman calls off Riley Boone and makes the catch relatively deep for out number one wazer is retired here's Bethany Kean spot [Music] I wonder if we'll see Keen here yeah we will goes down in the book as an out but probably one of the better hit balls we've seen from Florida [Applause] State Kane struck out in the third inning the left te waits for the first pitch and takes strike one well Florida state is sending a couple more pitchers down to the pin here and neither one of them are cat sandercock it almost looks like they're good with just using her to tomorrow yeah was deos Deo and prey sent down to the pin here's the 01 swinging to m strike two well if they get Now Grant they've got a while to get back to Leonard's spot in the lineup but whoever is in that slot whether they reenter Leonard and then lose her I mean what they had done the other night was Leonard came in I think played first base for him but interesting here's the no-ball two strike pitch to Bethany King up high one and two no runs on one hit and an air for Florida State U three runs four hits but two errors kind of jump out this game reminds me a lot of our game against Washington in Los Angeles it was just a weird game that in the end you looked up and you're like oh we won the game one-w pitch headed home to King boy that just missed throw away two balls and two strikes good spot it's a really good two strike pitch and it's a ball but the location sets up what's coming next so many different things for dordy to use here she's used the rise ball a lot two balls and two strikes throws the rise here she's going to need to get it in keen's eyes the pitch Inside Out swing fouled into the stands everyone okay this is my every game reminder for those of you that might have tickets in are head now tomorrow head on a swivel down the lines the only place you're really safe is behind home plate now going back to what you kind of were saying plank about the game not feeling crisp almost and you know two two pitch swing in a miss you mentioned get the rise in her eyes she did it's a good job and you can just see the pitch setup and what I like to see is that jordy's made an adjustment with the rise ball she's thrown it a lot but she's elevated it just a hair to get it out of that range where it's we've seen it get fouled back a ton and she's starting to adjust and starting it a little bit higher and still getting the chase seventh strike out of the game for Jordy ball first pitch to The Short Stop nine-hole hitter muffley is ball one three nothing Sooners top of the fifth these two teams tomorrow night hopefully without the weather delays this isn't a 4our and 30 minute game actually be 3:30 we started at 7 here's the 1 pitch a little bit low 2 and0 this game has had a weather delay that got it started exactly an hour later from its scheduled start time as far as the TV broadcast was concerned and then we have had about a 40-minute delay when lightning hit right after the top of the first inning here's the two ball no strike pitch to muffle Luke to Centerfield easy play for Jada Coleman that is the first one two3 inning for Jordy ball since the top of the first inning yeah it is third appearance in the postseason she's 0 And1 did start a game so down three zip in the bottom of the fifth inning Al Alli de boy is the choice four and a third innings in the postseason four and a third five hits two runs and she faces J Coleman Coleman lays down a beautiful bun and she's going to beat it without a throw I mean you could not have walked out and placed a ball in front of De boy and said make this play more perfectly than Jada Coleman just did for her first hit of the night and that's Jada Coleman knowing a scouting report and taking advantage of it she bunned it right back to De boy and made her try to field her position but you could see Harding swoop right in because again The Scouting Report probably says that deoy does not fed her position well Coleman aboard first pitch to tr jins is lined right to the shortstop Ley who tries to throw behind Coleman but Jada gets back in and that was an absolute laser and an absolutely spectacular play by muffley to go up and get it that's probably the hardest hit ball we've seen in this game that pitch was laced and what a great job by Jada Coleman because muffley made a great play and she froze and found her way back Haley Lee was hit by a pitch and then pinch ran for and now she digs in with a runner at first and only one out three nothing sooner Ali de boy making her Women's College World Series debut and the first pitch hangs up high for ball one Boston University or Boston College transfer is Ali de boy out of torington conect did I say Boston College Boston University the Terriers bu torington Connecticut here comes the one pitch to Haley Lee and that hangs up high ball two I not one to judge but it doesn't look like Ali de boy has the most electric stuff that we've seen in this NCA tournament it's not outstanding you know I keep thinking as I'm watching sort of the merry go round of pitchers who haven't thrown a lot um from Florida State and I go back to what coach gaso said in the pregame two- pitch to Lee is bounced towards short muffley makes the play on the short hop but her only play will be to First and there's two away well she's got two outs here but let's face it that's about the hardest hit ball we've seen off the bat of Jennings and she just fooled Haley Lee a bit and a pretty good play by muffley and we muffley is a great short stop defensively and catching Haley a little bit out front on the inner part of the plate but good job by mly but we're starting to see solid contact solid outs yeah and you were saying something from coach coach said in the pregame she goes you know what this team they don't they never think about losing or something to the effect of there's so many things surrounding it and they they don't think about losing they just go out and play the game first pitch is low for a ball and that it never creeps into their mind and I guess just as I'm watching the way way that Florida state has handled their bull plan and Coach Alam is one of the best absolutely one of the best um and I am very far from knowing any better than Lonnie Alam the one pitch to Hansen is ripped in a left field it's a base hit Patty gaso waving home J Coleman with the fourth run of the game Mak it it to RBI day for K9 and it's four nothing Sooners Kenzie Hansen user tear but I feel like that's perfectly on QE to the point I was about to make of saying in the fourth inning when Florida state did not go to their Ace in sandercock and then now putting out pitchers I mean this is dey's first experience in the Women's College World Series you're going to put her out there in the championship series it's almost as if they're taking the approach of well if we lose this game right and we'll throw kathern sandercock in game two and hopefully not face Jordy ball it I don't understand the approach and you want to know what sets these two teams apart it's that here's the first pitch to breedo ground ball down the third Baseline Fair under the glove of Harding into the corner but quickly thrown back in by Mudge it's a two hit day for [Music] burrito it's 4 nothing and here's Grace lions with the runners at first and second and stringing things together with two outs something this team does so well and they've done it all season and especially in the postseason stringing things together with two outs well what a spot here for G3 it's for zip laid down the sack punt the last time up she's 0 for one first pitch in the dirt ball one mant Hansen she's had she has some room off the bag at second I mean is it crazy of me to wonder is is there something wrong with sandercock I mean could you got to start wondering right I mean now it's probably foolish to bring her in at this point but still earlier in the game it wouldn't have been here's the one it's slow ball two well think about two innings ago I mean the sooner at that point had made multiple errors Jordy ball was not dominant in the circle [Applause] and you have a game that's starting to get late tied up at zero and you don't go to your Ace I mean you start to ask the question is sander kako okay here's the 20 to lions that off speed hangs up high ball three but The Narrative of you know trying to to keep them off balance I mean you've got to throw that out the door I'm going to go back to you've got to play to win the win win the ball game and I look at this pitching approach all day long from Florida State and go they were playing well in case we lose we've got sander cooch for tomorrow y here's the 3oh to Lions strike one that ball that ball crossed up edenfield the catcher here it go let's go here our home played umpire Tracy lck urging and encouraging Grace Lions to get back into the Batters box she does she's ready first and second Sooners two away bottom of the fifth 4 nothing U the pitch ball four base is loaded for Sid Sanders it's a really good at bat by Grace lions that 3-1 pitch is clearly a ball low but it's a really tough pitch to take so just as Grace has done really all World Series drawn some good walks and found her way on base you know what's in the Women's College World Series championship series for the first time ever don't you what the Run roll guess what just saying here's Sid Sanders though she had hasn't had the best night 0 for two a strike out and flly out to right field four nothing Sooners base is loaded bottom of the fifth inning here's the first pitch to Sid Sanders that off speed Falls in at what like 40 mil an hour oh my gosh I was right 43 miles an hour human radar gun Chris plank I mean it literally looked like something my dad would hit in his slow pitch softball games back in the day it had a little bit of a loop on that little lollipop change is what I've heard it called we don't like lollipop changes okay me neither here's the 01 pitch that's in for a strike and Sanders has looked at a couple of good pitches here no balls and two strikes Sid's going to take a little walk and you took the words right out of my mouth and I kind of wanted to say it as she stepped in box of wanting to see Sydney Sanders be more aggressive at the plate cuz you just feel like she's really taking some pitches that she could really hit hard here's the 02 pitch to Sanders that off speed is driven deep but not deep enough to right field under it having to make a couple steps back to catch it is Ali wayer in right field and that'll do it for the Sooners go to the sixth back to work for Jordy ball lead off Kaylee Mudge who is 0 for two with a couple of strikeouts and those strikeouts have been huge because Mudge is such a table setter for this team offensively and Jordie ball has just owned her so far in this game so right here going through this lineup again mud shows bunt bunts it right to ball easy play throws the first one away please bump the ball back to our pitcher I know Jordy had the air earlier but she has been smooth in the circle all year well she had the air on on really what was a rough relatively tough play she had to go a long way for it but we expect her just as she expects herself to make that play but please one pitch BN it back to her let her let her be an athlete well here's Janai cerr she can get Florida State back in this game with one swing at the bat in fact this 234 spot in their lineup is a place that's dangerous as the first pitch is fouled back for strike one aggressive so far from Florida State down for nothing and kerr came out with a hack and you can see mud just trying to get something done but a poorly placed [Applause] bunt no balls in a strike ker grounded out to Second and reached on that error by Jordy ball and takes the 01 pitch flowing away between Kerr Harding and edenfield two three and four 31 home runs in this Florida uh Florida State lineup the rest of the lineup has 18 combined home runs between them all so this is the area where the big bats the dangerous bats are as far as the long Ball's concerned for Florida State the 1-1 pitch swing to miss strike two though they need more than a home run here down four zip and that's a really good pitch we talked about it last inning about Jordy ball making the adjustment on the rise ball and getting it out of the reach and getting rid of that foul ball especially with two strikes so that's another great location here's the one-w pitch from ball headed home swing a Miss got her on the rise and there's two away and cerr chased one way out of the Zone chased one that didn't even start in the zone and I what I love about is you can see Jordy ball taking and Coach roacha with the pitch calling taking advantage of what they're seeing Florida state do in their game plan was to get on top of the rise ball they were swinging at it they weren't trying to Zone it off so instead Jordy ball is starting it a little bit higher and taking advantage of some undisciplined at bats Kayla Harding is 0 for two flight out to right field in the first struck out in the fourth first pitch ball from Jordy ball eight strike outs now on the game from Jordy and she is retired seven straight after hitting Michaela edenfield in the fourth four nothing Sooners late on a Wednesday in Oklahoma City here's the 1 from ball loow in two balls and no strikes star falling behind here she's been so good with it since the early stages of this game she really has once this game got moving you could see Jordy ball kind of settle in and she did it quickly especially coming off of the lightning delay but this is not the spot in the lineup where you want to start getting behind en counts Harding is one of the the toughest hitters one of the more challenging hitters in this lineup so she needs a pitch here especially 20 I'd expect to see the green light here from Harding some an aggressive swing so Jordy ball needs to match it with a quality pitcher pitch 2 in for a strike two and one good [Applause] spot Harding asks for time as she digs in jordy's ready staring in whips that hand into the glove the 2-1 pitch is laced to center field and deep it's going to get over the head of Coleman one Hop Off the Wall Coleman throws his Strike Back In Harding is out by a mile and didn't even slide J Coleman you are some kind of athlete she played that ball perfectly Off the Wall thre an absolute strike to tr Jennings covering and may have just put the dagger in the Heart of Florida State my goodness they call it the greatest show on dirt expand that to the Outfield when Jade is out there the greatest show on grass too another new pitcher for Florida State and it's another pitcher making her World Series debut still weird as Allison royalty is in righty royalty stares into Jocelyn Erikson he takes the first pitch strike it's four nothing Sooners we're in the bottom of the sixth inning as we approach 11 p.m. local time we had weather in the area caused a delay right off the start and a delay to the [Music] start here's the 01 Line to Center field but right at Cur I mean that thing was lasered off the bat of Erikson she has had a couple of really good swings over the last few games that pitch was laced and Erikson just looks so smooth she had a really good bat against canedy a couple of days ago good to see Erikson get some opportunities and they're not not helping the stats in any way but I can tell you that coach gaso and JT are proud of those at bats and are going to continue to reward Jocelyn Erikson royalty is an Arizona State transfer as Riley Boone digs in Boon had a double earlier and she lines this one towards the right center field Gap oh Riley boo is Off to the Races she'll slide in with another double the ball hit her hand as it was thrown in Boone takes off for third as the throw came in Boon was celebrating it hit off her hand and takes off to third listen to this place Channing Boon how do you score that a double and a celebration well as her hand was in the air she's on the bag and somehow it just shot right off her hand she looks to be okay that ball again takes the Hop rolls to the wall the throw in by oh it hit hit her hand she on the base threw out a celebration and it knocked the ball away here's Jada Coleman the Florida state infield is in first pitch to Jada is up high ball one Oklahoma has seen three pitches now from Allison royalty two of them have been absolute laser shots I'll say this is and I understand the why as to why the Florida state middle infielders are so tight but I'd be uh taking a step back one pitches High two balls and no strikes cuz royalty has is not fooling anybody and Riley Boon when she got to Third Base the very first thing J Coleman did was look at her and Riley Boon gave the it's right here and a little bit in and just basically said unload it's BP here's the 2 pitch to Coleman that's a a little low ball three to give you a little background here on royalty this is her Women's College World Series debut and so far in the postseason she's only thrown two innings and that came against South Carolina in the [Applause] regional the three-oh pitch to J Coleman is called a strike and you know what I don't even know if that's right about when when she threw against South Carolina yeah I am that's her only postseason appearance came in the regional against South Carolina in game six of that Regional here's the 31 to Coleman Ball Four I'm done trying to understand the pitching ideas I get it now you're not going to sandercock now you're down four runs with six outs to go or excuse me three outs to go but I mean the Sooners have just taken advantage of inexperience in the circle from Florida State TR Innings is 0 for three I mean it's it's wild this game is 4 nothing I a relatively tight game relatively close game but you feel like it's over I mean you feel like Florida state is just done well you get the impression in the way that they're going about the game that's not what this team does as that pitch Falls in for strike one but this is a scrappy team that fights and after J now granted it was heck of a play that J Coleman made off the wall and threw out Harding at second base but Harding didn't even slide and then walked all the way from second base back to The Dugout unreal the 01 Runner goes ground ball through pass to diving muffle in the left field Boon scores it's five nothing Sooners on the hidden run executed to Perfection by TR and what a great job and I love the fact I mean TR 0 for three on the day and Coach gaso calls the hit and run sometimes a hit and run takes the pressure off of The Hitter because you know your job is to swing and to put the ball on the ground and sometimes that makes your job easier in some ways and Jennings just taking a pitch on the inner half and putting it on the ground and finding a hole history tiar Jennings now the all-time leader in RBI in the NC and the Women's College World Series Haley Lee walk it off Haley Lee a three run home no oh my goodness what a play at the wall Haley Lee looked like she was going to walk it off on a three-run bomb and Mudge went over the wall and took it from her what an incredible play by Mudge and left field that's got to be one of the best defensive plays we've seen from someone not named Jada Coleman here in Oklahoma City wow and that wasn't like a get up against the fence and use it to lift yourself that was just pure jump jump man out there Haley Lee had started her celebration rounding first base when Mudge went up and got it that was Sensational that was an unbelievable catch now here's Kinsey Hansen who is two for three on the day with a un batted in first pitch to K9 is loow in for ball one wow that went from being a ball game it would have made it eight zip to a fantastic play that mud didn't really sell too much after she made it and really it was tough to tell and you could even see J Coleman's going did she catch it did she not do I need to tag what a Play here's the 1 oh by Hansen a little bit in two balls and no strikes boy Kinsey Hansen has been a Difference Maker here tonight her fourth inning RBI double start of the party singled in the fifth actually the hit by pitch to Haley Lee it's wild to look back the Sooners we're in a scoreless game in the fourth and I know we're we're so caught up in rightfully so in the catch that mud just Mudge just made but good to see Haley Lee put a good swing on a ball and hit something hard cuz she's yet to do that in this Women's College World Series the two- pitch misses low ball three that's a great point it's it's an out and it's the number one play on Sports Center no question but it's also Haley Lee hitting a ball hard and [Applause] far first and second two outs five nothing Sooners here's the 3-oh pitch to Hansen strike [Applause] one get the feeling if anything is close here to hand and she is just going to unload cuz royalty is not fooling anybody the last two pitchers to boy or [Music] royalty here's the 3-1 pitch to Hansen K9 lines one that is right at Harding the third baseman to end the inning wow an absolute laser off the bat of Lee an absolute laser off the bat of Hansen and they come away with two outs the highlight of this game might be the Mudge catch but the biggest story is that Oklahoma is three outs away from taking game one of the championship series they lead it five to nothing I've got Jordy ball and I've got Nicole May and if necessary I got Alex drao no games just throwing your best playing to win playing to win and going Toe to Toe saying I mean Florida state is the right now these are the two best teams in the country mhm first pitch a little bit low ball one we owe you a station ID we'll get it after this one pitch to Michaela edenfield five runs on nine hits for the Sooners none no runs on two hits for Florida State I just feel like such a big difference um between the approaches in this game in particular tonight is it's saying you're the best well we're going to give you our best here's the 1 pitch in for a strike let's pause 10 seconds for station ID this is Sooner softball from learfield krxo FM and krxo HD Oklahoma City a product of Tyler media your Flagship station for Oklahoma Sooner Sports 1077 the franchise still the birthday boy as OU leads five zip over Florida state in the top of the seventh inning the 1-1 pitch is po fouled on the right side this game started an hour later than it was scheduled to start due to a weather delay and then and then he had a situation where lightning struck right after the top of the first inning which delayed it even more all total about an hour and 46 minutes worth of delays here tonight the game itself has moved it's moved well here's the one-w pitch to edinfield swing and she got her swinging a Miss edenfield stopped for a moment and said something to Hansen but it was merely because edenfield had swung the bat around and caught her they I think they're friends they've played against each other for a while that a strikeout number nine for keny Hansen and that was a hack I mean and part of the reason she was turned around and talking to Kinsey was she took such a big swing I think the bat clipped Kinsey Hansen as she was coming up to throw the ball around dein flarity takes ball one flarity on the night is over too see I saw something kind of interesting during edfield at bat she took a pitch against Jordy ball and it was a it was a pitch that really you would have expected edenfield to swing and she took it for a cold strike and then she pointed to the Dugout kind of like saying that they called the wrong pitch almost as if they were trying to pick a pitch the one0 misses low 2 and0 kind and that's become a big story in this world series because Lance glasso here on was that Saturday whenever he was is picking pitches to try to help out maybe it was Sunday to help out Washington and Candy open up a big discussion about stealing signs and if that's acceptable here's the 2-0 pitch from flare headed home little bit low ball three now what it was interesting cuz I I get and I I very well could be wrong but I saw edinfield pointer bat to The Dugout and kind of say that was the wrong pitch three balls and no strikes the left-handed hitting senior second baseman strike out victim in the second grounded out the first in the fourth strike [Applause] [Music] one where dhy just needs to go after hitters five run lead two outs to go no free passes here go right after flarity make her earn anything that she gets three balls in a strike Jordy rocks and fires swing in a Miss strike too J's been good tonight I mean just as she's been all Women's College World Series but she has really just thrown a really good game three balls and two strikes with one out in the top of the seventh [Applause] ball brings it home cold strike three flarey thought it was Ball Four she started walking down to first base not so fast strikeout number 10 from Jordy PA it may have been a little outside but when you've struck out nine and you've been around the zone for most of the night when the game gets deep and you've thrown a lot of strikes you get the call in the river this just how it goes Katie Dak is going to pinch hit [Music] here Dak hit a home run against the Sooners earlier this [Applause] season here's the first pitch to The 305 hitter and it's a little bit up ball one [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Dak if I remember correctly hit a bomb in Norman yeah yeah in the matchup when Florida State came to [Applause] [Music] town five runs on nine hits for the Sooners Jordy ball is allowed two hits here's the one0 ball little bit low two and0 and for the second straight hitter Jordy ball falls behind [Applause] this was a scoreless game into the fourth Sooners put three on the board in the bottom of the fourth inning and haven't looked back since 5 nothing oh you it almost felt early in this game that the Sooners didn't quite have their groove two is high ball three and as this game has gone on it's it hasn't been pretty at all times I mean right in any facet I mean we've seen some rough at bats we've seen Jordy get behind and counts like we're seeing her do right here we've seen a couple of airs so I mean it has not been Flawless uh by any sort of the word but it is it has been a [Music] battle three balls and no strikes there's strike one to Dak Katie Dak has been playing some for Florida State I mean on the season Dak had been one of the regulars in their lineup she had started 52 games but in the NCA tournament dax's only made three starts here's the 31 Ball Four jaak didn't realize it was Ball Four now she's off the first base you know a strike zones a little tough when you've got a hitter standing in expecting a strike call and it gets called a ball [Applause] feel like that's been a strike all day pinch hitter here for well that's hi wayer oh they're going to use a pinch Runner excuse me and this is electricity on the base paths she is one of the most impressive base runners I've seen Ross Amaya Ross if this will be interesting five zip to see if Florida State sends her I I don't know if they would but here's haly wazer first pitch from Jordy ball Runner isn't going and there's strike one to give you an idea of how effective Maya Ross is four for four in stolen bases in the NCA tournament and on the season she's 22 of 23 as their pinge Runner that's a few here's the 01 pitch from Jordy ball ground ball back to ball that should do it throws to first ball game Oklahoma is one win away from its third straight national championship they suffocate the simal on a night where things didn't start so well for the Sooners but they finished with a bang final score in Oklahoma City Sooners five seminal nothing
