Texas vs Oklahoma softball live score
TEAMS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 F OU 0 2 ― ― ― ― ― ― Texas 2 ― ― ― ― ― ― ―
Aided by an error by second baseman Kaydee Bennett, the Sooners are able to even the score 2-2 in the top of the second inning. Teagan Kavan strikes out Joley Mitchell swinging with runners on first and second and two outs to prevent Oklahoma the opportunity of taking the lead.
Abigale Dayton drives in Cydney Sanders on a single and Kasidi Pickering plates another on a fielder's choice. Sanders opened the inning with a walk, Alana Agbayani reached on an error and Isabela Emerling laid down a sac bunt to set up the scoring opportunities for Oklahoma.
Kayden Henry steals home on a delayed steal when Oklahoma tries to nab Mia Scott stealing second. Scott advanced to third on an error and scores a play later on a sac fly by Reese Atwood.
Teagan Kavan allows a one-out single to two-hole hitter Ella Parker and a two-out single by Gabbie Garcia, but works around it for a clean first inning. Parker's single was a screamer to center field, while Garcia's single put runners on the corners with two outs. Kavan gets Sydney Barker to pop up to second to end the threat.
Kavan is up to eight scoreless innings in the WCWS so far this year.
The Sooners bat first as the "designated road team" for the matchup against Texas in the winner's bracket. They'll try to get the scoring going early against Teagan Kavan.
Here's a look at the Oklahoma starting lineup against Texas for today's game:
Kasidi Pickering, LF Ella Parker, DP Nelly McEnroe-Marinas, 3B Gabbie Garcia, SS Sydney Barker, RF Cydney Sanders, 1B Ailana Agbayani, 2B Isabela Emerling, C Abigale Dayton, CF

Oklahoma is looking to join rarified air with a fifth straight national championship. If coach Patty Gasso and the Sooners can pull off the WCWS win, they'd join John Wooden and UCLA basketball as the only college program to win five straight championships.

Jake Paul vs. Gervonta 'Tank' Davis reportedly set for big-money Netflix exhibition match
Netflix may soon be hosting another major boxing event. The sports streaming service, which boasts 300 million subscribers and will televise the Sept. 13 battle of pound-for-pound greats between Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Terence Crawford, began its boxing journey with Jake Paul's controversial fight with Mike Tyson this past November in Arlington, Texas, and now looks to play host to another contentious but money-spinning Paul showdown. Ring Magazine reported Wednesday that Paul will face Gervonta "Tank" Davis in a Netflix exhibition boxing match at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, on Nov. 15 — one year to the day from his bout with Tyson. The report follows a now-deleted post from the official Netflix Turkey account with the same details. Uncrowned has learned that the reported venue is currently booked for Nate Bargatze's "Big Dumb Eyes" tour on Nov. 15. Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) was in talks to face the former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua next, but the bout has reportedly collapsed due to network issues. The internet star turned boxer defeated his second former world champion, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., in June by unanimous decision in California to earn his first world ranking. It was widely believed that Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs) would rematch Lamont Roach on Aug. 16 after the pair fought to a controversial draw this past March, following Davis' infamous kneel-down controversy. The two-division champion, however, was forced to trade a fight date for a court date after being arrested for a misdemeanor battery-domestic violence charge in July, after his ex-girlfriend accused him of striking her on the back of her head and slapping her at an alleged altercation on June 15. The charge was dropped this past week after the alleged victim refused to prosecute. Roach told Boxing Scene — the media outlet owned by his co-promoter ProBoxTV — that he was "moving on" from a rematch with "Tank" on Friday, as he believed Davis' camp wasn't interested in an immediate rematch. Paul vs. Davis could be compelling viewing, as although Davis is vastly more experienced than Paul, he will likely enter the ring at a 50-pound-plus size disadvantage.

Where do the Oklahoma Sooners land in ESPN's preseason power rankings?
The Oklahoma Sooners kick off their 2025 season in less than two weeks. OU will host the Illinois State Redbirds at 5:00 p.m. CT on Saturday, August 30th. The Sooners were unranked in the preseason US LBM Coaches Poll, but they did slot in at 18th in the preseason Associated Press Poll. With the 2025 season beginning this weekend, ESPN released its preseason power rankings ahead of the new year. ESPN ranked the Sooners 23rd overall and ninth out of 10 total SEC teams in their top 25. OU was ranked ahead of Tennessee (24th), but behind Texas (1st), Georgia (4th), Alabama (7th), LSU (8th), South Carolina (12th), Texas A&M (15th), Florida (16th) and Ole Miss (20th). The Sooners' Week 2 opponent, Michigan, came it at 13th in the rankings. Oklahoma will face seven teams inside ESPN's top 25, with six of those games being conference bouts. Of those seven total games, OU is the lower-ranked team in six of them. The only Power Four teams the Sooners will face that aren't in the rankings are Auburn and Missouri. Oklahoma's Week 1 game against Illinois State will serve as a nice tune-up ahead of an absolutely massive tilt against the Wolverines in Week 2. That game is one of the season's biggest matchups, and could go a long way towards deciding what both of those iconic programs look like this year.
