The culmination of Florida State softball's season is here. After a 3-0 run through the first portion of the Women's College World Series, the No. 3 Seminoles (58-9) begin the best-of-three WCWS Championship Series against No. 1 Oklahoma (59-1) Wednesday on ESPN.
Game 1 was supposed to start at 8 p.m. EST but the start has been delayed indefinitely due to lightning in the area which has caused the stadium to be vacated. Updates as to a start time for the series opener will be shared here when available.
The Sooners enter the championship series on a 51-game winning streak, an NCAA record. FSU enters on a hot streak of its own, having won 24 of its last 25 games and 33 of its last 35.
OU leads the all-time series against FSU 9-8 after winning a midweek game 5-4 over the Seminoles at its home stadium back in March. This is the third year FSU and Oklahoma have faced off in the postseason, previously doing so in 1994 and in the 2021 WCWS Championship Series, which the Sooners won two games to one.
