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.
