It didn’t go according to plan today for the Oklahoma Sooners, who turned to Nicole May in the circle. May had been lights out for the Sooners during the postseason but got hit by a good Florida Gators. The Gators knocked off the Sooners 9-3 to set up an elimination game between the two sides on Tuesday.
May allowed four runs on six hits and a walk in two innings pitched, giving way to Kierston Deal in the third who didn’t fair much better. Deal, who had also pitched well for the Sooners, allowed five runs on four hits and four walks in 3.2 innings pitched.
At the plate, the Sooners left 10 runners in scoring position, which isn’t a great recipe for success. Jayda Coleman was 0-3 after opening the game with a lead off walk.
But it was just one game. The Sooners have an opportunity to right the ship in another matchup with the Florida Gators.
Oklahoma is still a win away from the championship series. Here’s a look at the best photos from the Sooners 9-3 loss to Florida.
