OKLAHOMA, FLORIDA REACH SOFTBALL TITLE SERIES

Shay Knighten singled in two runs in the fifth inning to help de- fending champion Oklahoma beat Oregon 4-2 on Sunday in the semifinals of the Women’s College World Series. The Sooners (59-9) will play top-seeded Florida on Monday to start the bestof-three championship series. The teams have combined to win the last four national titles but are meeting for the first time in the championship series. Paige

Parker (26-5) earned the win and Paige Lowary got the save against Oregon. The Ducks would have needed to beat Oklahoma twice on Sunday, and for a while, it looked like they might at least force a second game. Danica

Mercado’s two-run homer in the top of the fifth put the Ducks (54-8) up 2-0.
