The 2021 Women’s College World Series is captivating fans across the nation.

The Oklahoma Sooners and Florida State Seminoles put on a show Wednesday night in Game 2 of the Women’s College World Series.

Florida State was on the brink of a National Championship after winning Game 1 by a final score of 8-4.

The No.1 ranked Sooners aren’t ready to go home yet though. Oklahoma took a 3-2 lead off a record-breaking two-run homer by Jocelyn Alo. Oklahoma now has 159 home runs this year, an NCAA softball single-season record. It was only fitting that the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year would give the Sooners the lead and the record in one swing.

The scoring didn’t stop there, with the Sooners piling on three more runs and holding on for a final score of 6-2.
