The Sooners are hoist the trophy once again. Back-to-back national champs, three in five years, four in program history.

17 innings. 5 hours and 28 minutes. The longest WCWS finals game ever...

...with an exclamation point from Shay Knighten in the top of the 17th that sent shockwaves throughout the entire sports world.

You're not alone. Be a leader. Have each other's backs. OU's motto rang true throughout the WCWS.

Facing a 2-0 deficit, OU turned to a little 'Sooner Magic' to beat Oregon 4-2 and return to the WCWS Championship Series.

Paige Parker won her 15th straight postseason decision and OU advanced to the semifinals with a 3-1 win over Washington.

Nicole Pendley hit a three-run home run as part of a four-run first, and it was all the Sooners would need in the opener.

Making its 11th trip to the WCWS, OU has made ASA Hall of Fame Stadium "Marita Hynes Field North".

The Sooners finished the day by breaking in the big stage on the eve of their 2017 WCWS opener vs. Baylor.

Day 1 at the WCWS was filled with photo opps and media obligations, and the Sooners looked as comfortable as ever.
