Millions of dollars are being pumped into Oklahoma City's economy, thanks to the Women's College World Series.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Kathryn Sandercock threw five scoreless innings, Kaley Mudge hit a three-run homer and No. 3 seed Florida State defeated No. 6 seed Oklahoma State 8-0 in six innings Thursday night in the Women’s College World Series opener for both teams. A game that started late because of lightning was delayed another two hours in the third inning for lightning and rain. It was reminiscent of the previous World Series game between the teams in 2021 that ended at 2:20 a.m. local time because a rain delay pushed back the start time. Sandercock got the win in that game, too. This time, she gave up four hits and struck out four. She was equally effective before and after the delay. “She throws to all quadrants of the plate and hits her spots very well,” Oklahoma State second baseman Rachel Becker said. “I think you just never know what to expect when you’re going up to the plate against her. You can’t really ever sit on anything because she can throw a strike anywhere.”
