The Oklahoma Sooners may face their toughest road yet as they seek a record fifth straight Women’s College World Series championship. The second-seeded Sooners will open against hard-throwing Karlyn Pickens and No. 7 seed Tennessee. In the second game of super regional play, Pickens unleashed a pitch that traveled an NCAA record 79.4 miles per hour. Action in the eight-team double-elimination bracket begins Thursday at Devon Park. The final two teams will play for the title in a best-of-three series starting June 4. In other opening-day matchups, Texas plays Florida, Texas Tech will face Mississippi and UCLA meets Oregon.
