Can Oklahoma make history and become the first softball program to record four innings? Or will someone dethrone the Sooners?
The road to the 2024 Women's College World Series has officially begun. For the first time since 2018, Oklahoma did not earn the top seed in the NCAA softball tournament. Instead, regional play will begin in Austin with No. 1 Texas. The Sooners are second place.
The SEC leads the way with 13 teams in the field, including eight of the 16 regional hosts.
We break down each region and give you updates on schedules, scores and how to watch the NCAA Tournament.
