In a series of closely contested softball games, UCLA and the Oklahoma Sooners demonstrated clutch performances. Maya Brady of UCLA delivered a crucial hit in the bottom of the 6th with 2 outs, driving in the go-ahead run against Maryland, putting UCLA ahead 6-5. Meanwhile, the Oklahoma Sooners, ranked number 1 and playing in Puerto Vallarta, faced a tough challenge from Washington. The game saw several lead changes, with the Sooners initially taking a 2-0 lead, only for Washington to answer back with three runs. The Sooners managed to tie the game 3-3, thanks to a pinch-hit RBI single by Riley Ludlam, and Kelly Maxwell's defensive play kept the game tied. The game went into extra innings where Rylie Boone secured the game-winning RBI, extending the Sooners' impressive win streak to 56 games and improving their season record to 3-0. The Sooners continued their winning ways later against Long Beach State, with Alyssa Brito hitting her second home run of the game and Tiare Jennings contributing a two-run home run to a 10-3 victory. In another game, Florida State University (FSU) pulled off a dramatic comeback win against Texas Tech, with Isa Torres delivering a walk-off two-run single after Jaysoni Beachum walked to load the bases when FSU was down to its final out.
