Alabama faces off against UCLA in the Women’s College World Series on Thursday from Oklahoma City.

Riley Valentine hit a grand slam in the first inning of Game 3 in the Knoxville Super Regional. The four runs would be more than enough for Alabama’s pitching duo of Jocelyn Briski and Kayla Beaver, as the Crimson Tide won the final game over Tennessee 4-1 to advance to the WCWS.
The Bruins easily took care of No. 11 Georgia in the Super Regional. UCLA run-ruled the Bulldogs 8-0 in Game 1 and then won 6-1 in the second game.
The two teams have met three previous times at the WCWS, and while the Bruins have dominated the series overall, the last matchup in OKC was a memorable one for the Crimson Tide. Montana Fouts pitched a perfect game, as Alabama upset the then defending national champion Bruins in 2021.
The WCWS is a double-elimination tournament, so the team will play a minimum of two games.
