Social media reacts to Oklahoma Sooners loss to Mississippi State
The Oklahoma Sooners’ season came to an end in surprising fashion in their 6-0 loss to the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Oklahoma was shut out for the first time in 399 games and will miss the Women’s College World Series for the first time since 2015.
This was a good Oklahoma team. There were certainly signs throughout the season that this may not be their year. The pitching was up and down, but mostly up as the Sooners won 50 games and the SEC regular season title. Still, on Friday, Oklahoma couldn’t get enough outs to keep Mississippi State from completing an incredible comeback to earn the game one win.
The offense was also one of the best in college softball, averaging more than 10 runs per game. But without the long ball, Oklahoma’s lineup could be stifled. It was on Sunday, to the tune of three hits and three walks against Bulldogs starter Delainey Everett, who made her first start of the season in the decisive game.
Barring an unforeseen departure, the Sooners will bring back a lot of talent for 2027 and will certainly look to add to the roster through the transfer portal.
The 2026 season came to an end on Sunday and here’s how social media reacted to the historic upset.
