Texas softball vs. Oklahoma State pick
This Longhorns team continues to show the utmost fight throughout the postseason, which is why they’re still alive in OKC with only four teams left in the field.
In order for Texas to continue to remain alive in the WCWS field, they’ll need to beat Oklahoma State twice. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State only needs one win to advance to the final round of the WCWS.
Texas will once again be relying on the senior All-American pitcher Hailey Dolcini to lead this team on the mound. Dolcini was up and down through the WCWS run for the Longhorns thus far. She didn’t have her best game in the win over Arizona to round out the weekend.
But she’ll likely have a pitcher’s duel on her hands in this one against the Pokes as a fellow All-American will be taking the mound for the opponent in Kelly Maxwell. Dolcini will really need to be on her game to keep pace with Maxwell.

If Dolcini can give the Longhorns a quality start in this one, that could give the offense the juice it needs to get something going against Maxwell and the Pokes. This feels like a great opportunity for the Longhorns to pull off yet another unlikely upset to continue this magical postseason run.
