UCLA Softball Playoff Push: Schedule, Live Stream & Key Players You Need to Know Today
• Hot Trendy News
Oklahoma City, Okla. — UCLA softball delivered a late-night thriller at Devon Park, walking off Oregon 4-2 to reach the winners’ bracket of the 2025 Women’s College World Series. With two outs in the bottom of the seventh, sophomore right fielder Jessica Clements crushed a two-run homer to straightaway center, erasing the sting of a controversial obstruction call that had allowed the Ducks to tie the game minutes earlier.
How the game unfolded
• Pitcher Kaitlyn Terry set the tone, striking out six and scattering four hits in a complete-game effort for the No. 9-seeded Bruins.
• Oregon grabbed a 1-0 lead on Kedre Luschar’s two-out RBI single in the third.
• Catcher Alexis Ramirez flipped the momentum with a two-run blast in the fourth, her seventh long ball of the season.
• In the top of the seventh, a video review ruled Ramirez obstructed Paige Sinicki on a play at the plate, knotting the score at 2-2.
• Clements then ended it, sending UCLA’s sixth hit over the wall for the Bruins’ 55th win of the year and their second walk-off of the postseason.
Why it matters
The victory pushes head coach Kelly Inouye-Perez’s squad into Saturday’s prime-time matchup with red-hot Texas Tech. A win there would put UCLA one step from the WCWS semifinals and keep the program on track for its record-extending 14th national championship.
Key numbers
55-11 — UCLA’s overall record, best in the Big Ten after the Bruins joined the league this season.
2 — Lightning-related lighting outages that delayed the first inning, adding to the drama of an already late start.
4 — Total homers hit by UCLA in its last two games, a surge that has revived an offense that was shut out twice in April.
Star watch
• Jessica Clements: The sophomore now owns three postseason homers, all in elimination-pressure moments.
• Kaitlyn Terry: The Pac-12 transfer improved to 24-5; opponents are batting just .183 against her in the NCAA tournament.
• Alexis Ramirez: The freshman catcher has driven in eight runs over her last four contests while throwing out 41 percent of would-be base stealers this year.
What’s next
UCLA faces Texas Tech on Saturday at 6 p.m. CT on ESPN2, while Oregon meets Ole Miss in an elimination game Friday night. The Bruins swept a two-game series from the Red Raiders in March, but Tech ace NiJaree Canady just fired a two-hit shutout in her WCWS debut.
