5. Texas (Previous Rank: 1)

Alabama Crimson Tide

The Crimson Tide showed the world exactly what they are made of when they took down the previously No.1-ranked Texas Longhorns in two slugfests.

After losing the first game on Thursday, Alabama bounced back with a six-run second inning, including a bases-loaded double from Brooke Wells to drive in three runs on Friday.

They kept that momentum rolling on Saturday when Jena Young ripped a three-run home run to lead the team to the series-winning 7-4 victory.

Jocelyn Briski and Vic Moten worked tremendously together in the circle, as Briski took the win and Moten threw a strong 5.1 innings, and reentered in the third inning, allowing just three Texas baserunners.

While 36-3 on the season, the Crimson Tide now heads to Auburn for another SEC three-game series.

Oklahoma Sooners

The Sooners are knocking on the doorstep of the No.1 spot. With a 12-2 run-rule sweep of Kentucky on Sunday, they extend their winning streak to 30 and improved their home run total to 144 on the season, which is third in NCAA single-season history.

Slugger Kendall Wells ripped her 30th bomb of the year to tie the NCAA and OU program records for home runs in a single season by a freshman. Kasidi Pickering added a grand slam, while Isabela Emerling collected her 11th multi-hit game of the year.
