EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Lyndsey Grein struck out 10, surrendered three hits and ended the contest retiring 21 straight batters and Oregon overpowered Liberty to lead the 16th-seeded Ducks to a 13-1 win in the Eugene Super Regional Saturday to clinch a berth in the Women's College World Series. Oregon heads to the WCWS for the seventh time in school history and is making its first appearance in the WCWS since 2018. Grein moved her record to 29-2 on the season. Oregon (53-8) sent 11 batters to the plate and scored seven runs to break it open. Emma Cox's three run homer in the top of the fifth inning gave Oregon a 6-1 lead. Cox's homer came after Paige Sinicki started the fifth with a base hit then stole second. Dezianna Patmon walked and Ayanna Shaw entered to pinch run for her. Liberty then lifted starting pitcher Paige Bachman for reliever Elena Escobar to face Cox who homered on a 1-2 pitch. In the top of the second, Sinicki hit a 2-2 pitch over the right-center field wall to knot the contest at 1. Later, with the bases loaded and two out, Kai Luschar hit a high chopper to short to drive in Patmon to make it 2-1. In the fourth, Katie Flannery doubled to right center scoring Kaylynn Jones for a 3-1 lead. Liberty lead-off hitter Savannah Woodard hit her ninth home run of the season in the bottom of the first inning on 1-1 pitch to give the Flames their lone lead of the game. Liberty became the seventh NCAA Super Regional participant in Conference USA history and first since UAB in 2013. ___ AP college sports:

Jordan Woolery hits walk-off home run vs South Carolina to keep UCLA WCWS hopes alive
Jordan Woolery hits walk-off home run vs South Carolina to keep UCLA WCWS hopes alive Show Caption Hide Caption How the SEC's softball dominance could carry it through to the Women's College World Series The Oklahoman's Jenni Carlson shares the top storylines she's following through the NCAA softball tournament, starting with the SEC's biggest strengths. Jordan Woolery's first hit of the Columbia Super Regional was an impactful one. On the brink of elimination with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, the UCLA softball star connected on a first-pitch fastball and sent it over the left field wall for a two-run home run to give the ninth-seeded Bruins a 5-4 walk-off win against No. 8 seed South Carolina. Woolery's two-run walk-off home at Carolina Softball Stadium at Beckham Field evened the super regional series at 1-1 between the Gamecocks and Bruins, forcing Sunday's "if necessary" Game 3 of the best-of-three super regional series to be played. JORDAN WOOLERY WALK-OFF HOMER TO STAVE OFF ELIMINATION!! BRUINS NEVER SAY DIE!! — UCLA Softball (@UCLASoftball) May 24, 2025 REQUIRED READING: Who's in WCWS? Updated bracket, scores, schedule for NCAA softball tournament Woolery's shot to left field was her 23rd home run of the season, which is now tied for the seventh most among all Division I hitters this season. It also ended a 0-for-6 stint at the plate against South Carolina in the super regional for Woolery. To extend its stay in the NCAA Tournament for at least one extra day, UCLA scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning. The scoring began with Kaitlyn Terry hitting one to the right center wall for a triple that brought home Taylor Stephens. Terry was then brought home on two batters later on a single from Savannah Polo. The Bruins were being shut out by South Carolina until the bottom of the fifth inning when Sofia Mujica connected on a 1-0 pitch for a solo home run to straight away centerfield off Gamecocks reliever Jori Hearld. The winner of Sunday's "if necessary" game between the Gamecocks and Bruins, which has a TBD first pitch at the time of writing, will advance to the Women's College World Series. First up in Oklahoma City for either South Carolina or UCLA will be the winner of the Eugene Super Regional between No. 16 Oregon and Liberty.
