It’s a rematch of the 2021 Women’s College World Series finals, with No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 3 Florida State meeting for a best-of-three series.
Oklahoma has been dominating the field on a 51-game win streak, leaving no mercy when it comes to who their opponent is. The Sooners haven’t lost a game since Feb. 19 against Baylor and recently broke the NCAA Division I record for consecutive wins.
Since the postseason began with the Big 12 Tournament, the Sooners have outscored their opponents 85-15 in 10 outings. That’s two Big 12 Tournament games, three NCAA regional games, two NCAA super regional games and three Women’s College World Series games.
Florida State won its semifinal against Tennessee on Monday, 5-1, securing a place in the final series for the second time in three years.
Last time a top-seeded Oklahoma team and Florida State met in the finals series was in 2021, where the Sooners walked away with their first of two consecutive national titles (fifth overall) over the then-No. 10 Seminoles.
FSU has only won one NCAA championship, in 2018. The Seminoles are currently carrying a 58-9 record, opposed to Oklahoma’s 59-1.

Updates will begin rolling in closer to first pitch at 8 p.m. ET.
ESPN is carrying coverage of the Women’s College World Series finals this year. Beth Mowins, Michele Smith, Jessica Mendoza and Holly Rowe will be the sole team on the call for every game.
On Wednesday, the first pitch of Game 1 will be thrown at 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. CT, locally). The best-of-three series is being played at the USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, as it has been 32 times since 1990.
The USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium became the primary host in 1990, after spending two years at Twin Creeks Sports Complex in Sunnyvale, Calif. and it’s first six years at Seymor Smith Park in Omaha, Neb.
The only times the finals weren’t played in Oklahoma in that time span was in 1996, where they were stationed at Golden Park in Columbus, Ga., leading into that summer’s Atlanta Olympics.
Viewers without cable can stream the game via ESPN+ or Fubo, which is offering a free trial to new subscribers.
