The sophomore’s clutch three-run homer in the sixth inning propels the sixth-seeded Bruins past 14th-seeded Alabama in a 4-1 victory in Oklahoma City
UCLA’s Jordan Woolery celebrates hitting a three-run home run in the sixth inning during an NCAA Women’s College World Series opening-game victory over Alabama on Thursday, May 30, 2024, in Oklahoma City. OKLAHOMA CITY — Jordan Woolery dropped the bat and immediately raised her hands. Even though she watched the ball soaring toward the left-field fence, she knew it was gone.
Until Woolery’s late-inning blast, the WCWS opener was largely a pitcher’s duel, UCLA’s Kaitlyn Terry and Taylor Tinsley battling Alabama’s Kayla Beaver.After Janell Meono was hit by a pitch, Maya Brady laced a single into right field. Jadelyn Allchin followed with her own single to right, and Meono was sent home. She scored easily when Alabama right fielder Lauren Johnson bobbled the ball.
A sacrifice bunt moved the runner to second, and a single followed by a walk loaded the bases with only one out.
