Florida softball vs Oklahoma live score, updates, highlights from WCWS semifinal game
Florida softball pulled off one of the biggest wins at the 2024 Women’s College World Series Monday and it looks to do the same Tuesday.
Facing elimination for the third consecutive day with their season on the line, the No. 4 Gators played perhaps their best game yet in Oklahoma City as Tim Walton’s squad put up nine runs against the reigning three-time national champions No. 2 Oklahoma Monday handing the Sooners their first NCAA Tournament loss since 2022.
Freshman pitcher Keagan Rothrock was stellar once again, striking out four in her 26th complete game of the season. But the explosiveness of the Gators’ lineup was the main storyline of Monday’s 9-3 victory for Florida. Skylar Wallace went 2-for-4 at the plate driving in three runs on two home runs in the contest while centerfielder Kendra Falby hit the first inside-the-park home run in the WCWS since 2014, on top of her run-saving catch in the second inning.

However, beating college softball’s Goliath back-to-back days won’t be an easy feat for Florida as only two teams have handed Oklahoma back-to-back losses this season: No. 1 Texas and No. 5 Oklahoma State. Texas punched its ticket to the championship series with a 1-0 win over Stanford Monday.
If Florida can pull out another win on Tuesday against the Sooners, it will face the Longhorns in the WCWS best-of-three championship series which begins on Wednesday, June 5 at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN. It would be the first WCWS championship series the Gators have advanced to since finishing runner-up to Oklahoma in 2017.

Oklahoma City man claiming to be financial investor charged with fraud
OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — A federal grand jury has charged an Oklahoma City man with dozens of counts of wire fraud, money laundering, and aggravated identity theft.
From June 2021 through December 2025, officials say 36-year-old Matthew Mclain Veazey presented himself as a successful financial investment professional. Public records indicate that Veazey encouraged friend and family to send him money by claiming he had special access to favorable investment opportunities due to his connections.
However, authorities say Veazey kept the money for himself and used it for personal expenses.
Court records allege that investors gave Veazey $2.38 million, but those funds were never repaid. Authorities say Veazey fabricated text messages and email communications from real people to convince victims that his investment activities were real.
This week, a federal grand jury returned a 30-count indictment charging Veazey with 21 counts of wire fraud, five counts of money laundering, and four counts of aggravated identity theft.
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
If convicted, Veazey faces up to 20 years in federal prison and fines up to $250,000 for each count of wire fraud, up to 10 years in federal prison and fines up to $250,000 for each count of money laundering.

UFL Expanding to Oklahoma City, Moving to 10 Teams in 2028
The more, the merrier!
The United Football League announced on Thursday morning that it’s expanding to 10 teams in 2028, including the addition of a team in Oklahoma City.
“Oklahoma lives and breathes football, so bringing the UFL to Oklahoma City was an easy decision,” UFL Co-Owner Mike Repole said in a statement about the inclusion of Oklahoma City. “This is a state that shows up, cares deeply, and truly understands the game. From college powerhouses to Friday night lights, football runs deep here. We’re committed to building a franchise in OKC that the entire state can rally behind.”
The Oklahoma City UFL team doesn’t yet have a name but will play its home games at MAPS 4 Multipurpose Stadium, which is under construction. The location of the other expansion team isn’t known, either.
“Oklahoma City has long been one of the most glaring vacancies on the professional football map,” UFL President & CEO Russ Brandon said in a statement. “The combination of a new stadium, deep-rooted football culture, and a city that has proven its ability to support major league sports makes this an easy decision. We are thrilled to bring the UFL’s brand of high-octane spring football to the passionate fans of Oklahoma.”
The lone professional sports team in Oklahoma City is the Thunder, who just won their first NBA championship in franchise history last season. Elsewhere, the Oklahoma Sooners (college) are located roughly 25 minutes south of Oklahoma City, while the Oklahoma State Cowboys (college) are located roughly 70 minutes north of Oklahoma City.
As for this season, which is two weeks young, the UFL has three new teams: the Columbus Aviators, Louisville Kings and Orlando Storm.
