Final Stats |  Notes | Cal Post-Game Quotes

OKLAHOMA CITY - Playing in front of Oklahoma's home field crowd, the California softball team could not get more than two hits off of Sooner southpaw Keilani Ricketts, failing 3-0 to Oklahoma on Friday evening on the second day of the Women's College World Series.

After Lauren Chamberlain drove in the first run, Cal battled with the bases loaded and no outs with three straight groundouts. Keilani Ricketts walked in a run in the top of the fourth to make it 2-0.

The Sooners got their lead-off hitter on in each of the first four innings. Cal, on the flip side, did not get a baserunner to third until the bottom of the sixth.
