Oklahoma Sooners advance to Super Regionals with 12-1 win over Cal
Oklahoma Sooners advance to Super Regionals with 12-1 win over Cal The Oklahoma Sooners advanced to the Super Regional round of the NCAA tournament for the 15th consecutive season following a 12-1 win over the California Golden Bears. It was a clean sweep for the Sooners, who won each of their three games in run-rule fashion, including twice over Cal. Sam Landry was again fantastic, allowing only an unearned run over three innings to move to 22-4 on the season and lower her ERA to 2.00. Isabella Smith and Peytn Monticelli threw the fourth and fifth innings to close out the win and send the Sooners to the Super Regionals. Oklahoma jumped out to an early 1-0 lead on Gabbie Garcia's 18th home run of the season in the top of the second. Three batters later, Ailana Agbayani hit a three-run home run to put Oklahoma ahead 4-0. Cal responded with a run in the bottom of the second after a throwing error, but Landry was able to limit the damage, stranding a runner at third base. The Sooners failed to capitalize with runners in scoring position and less than two outs in the top of the third. However, a baserunning mistake from Cal, allowed Oklahoma to get out of the bottom of the third on a fly ball which led to a double play. In the fourth, the Sooners ran away with the game with eight runs. Abigale Dayton drove in Agbayani from second and advance to second on the throw. With runners on second and third, Kasidi Pickering hit her 17th home run of the season and her third home run of the regional round to put Oklahoma up 8-1. Ella Parker followed that up with a solo shot for her 12th home run of the season to make it 9-1. Singles by freshmen Riley Zache and Corri Hicks gave Oklahoma an 11-1 lead and Hannah Coor capped off the scoring with a sacrifice fly to the wall to make it 12-1. Smith and Monticelli didn't give Cal much to work with and continued the strong postseason work by the Sooners bullpen. Over the three-game set, Oklahoma outscored their opponents 31-3. Now, they await the winner of the Tuscaloosa Regional. The final between Alabama and Virginia Tech was put in a weather delay. The Crimson Tide are looking to close out the weekend without a loss, while the Hokies will have to beat the Tide twice in order to earn an opportunity to play in Norman next weekend.

Two Eastern NC teens among winners of Military Child of the Year award
JACKSONVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) — Operation Homefront, a national nonprofit which aims to build strong, stable and secure military families so they can thrive in local communities has announced its seven winners of the Military Child of the Year award. Two of those winners are from Eastern N.C. Isabella Smith, a 17-year-old from Hubert, is representing the U.S. Marine Corps and Emily Baldeosingh, 18 of Havelock, is representing the National Guard. The winners were honored at a gala in Arlington, Va. Thursday night where each will be given a $10,000 grant. 'Marine Corps is all I've ever known and especially just being able to represent my dad and his story and my family and just a lot of that is just so awesome,' Smith said. 'I feel really special because obviously, a lot of my school and for many years, every single year, especially my advisor who nominated me, he's worked there for like over 20 years and he nominates people every single year and they've never had a winner. So, I didn't think I'd ever win because it just seemed impossible. All these kids who have come before me and haven't won, they've only gotten semifinalist or finalist and so, I was kind of told from the beginning that it was impossible. So, it felt like I accomplished the impossible when I won.' 'I always knew that I wanted to contribute my life to him when he passed away because it's crazy knowing that your life ended because you were serving and that's the ultimate sacrifice you can make for your country,' Baldeosingh said. 'So, I feel like as his daughter, it's my duty to make sure that his legacy is fulfilled. Yeah, everything I do is for him.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
