Oklahoma City – Ella Parker castigated a three -point home run to raise Oklahoma, second seeded, a 4-3 victory against the seventh seeded Tennessee during the opening of the Women’s College World Series on Thursday.
The Sooners will face Texas on Saturday in the second round, while the volunteers will face Florida in an elimination match on Friday.
With two withdrawals in the seventh, the Oklahoma was 0 for 13 with runners on the basis of the match, their only race at the first round of Parker.
But after a walk in mind, the hard single of Kasidi Pickering at the top of the middle set up the heroism of Parker.
Parker took the first Karlyn Pickens throw before exploding the second land on the central wall to give the quadruple champions in title another improbable WCW victory.
The flights quickly put themselves on the board against Sam Landry, with consecutive blows from Gabby Leach and Taylor Pannell.
Leach came around the score on a past ball and Pannell marked on the sacrificial fly of Sophia Nugent.
Oklahoma reduced the advance in two at the bottom of the round on the 14th stroke of the season’s parker. The Home Run was only the seventh rendered by Pickens this season.
The Tennessee marked an unprecedented race in the third when the Oklahoma left the defensive Pickering player could not manage the shipwreck lining of McKenna Gibson, allowing Ella Dodge to come and score.
But then, Landry settled, keeping Tennessee outside the board of directors and giving the Sooners offensive a chance to win it at the end.
