Oklahoma Softball earns two ESPY nominations for 2024

[BillySims]

The Oklahoma Sooners softball team were nominated for a pair of awards at the 2024 ESPYs after bringing home the national championship earlier this month. Patty Gasso’s team has been nominated for the Best Team award, after a fantastic wcws run that included just one loss in Oklahoma City. It’s the fourth consecutive year that Oklahoma has been nominated for the award. This includes last year’s snub when OU didn’t win Best Team, despite having just one loss all season and dominating the NCAA Softball field in the midst of their historic winning streak. This season, the Sooners won the national championship to mark their eighth title overall, all coming since 2000 with Gasso as the head coach. OU has won the past four titles and six of the last eight. The one loss in the Women's College World Series was avenged in epic fashion by senior Jayda Coleman. Her walk-off home run in Game 3 against Florida was nominated for Best Play. The 2024 ESPYS will be broadcast live on Thursday, July 11, at 7 p.m. CT on ABC from Los Angeles. Fan voting is now underway for all categories and runs through July 11 at 4 p.m. CT. The complete list of 2024 nominees can be viewed here.
