Social Media Erupts After Alabama Softball’s Stunning Upset of Oklahoma

From the radio call in the booth at Alabama's Rhoads Stadium to social media, reactions to the Crimson Tide's upset over No. 2 Oklahoma poured in on social media late Monday night.
The Crimson Tide gave softball fans plenty of reason to celebrate when freshman Audrey Vandagriff lifted Alabama to a 2-1 win with a walkoff solo home run in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Vandagriff finished the night with three of Alabama's seven hits and scored both runs.

Meanwhile, Oklahoma fans are trying to stay positive after losing back-to-back SEC series.
I’m never freaking out with OU softball, this might be for the best, we have to wake up the bats. There’s so much talent on this team, and in truth really a season away…they’ve over performed and that talented. Maybe this wakes the offense up and rights the ship. Either way full…

OU being the standard for softball is a blessing and a curse. Because when OU loses, all the near tears and dog-piles are both expected (understood?) and annoying.

Standing with this team until I die. Keep fighting. Season isn’t anywhere near over. Eyes up, Sooners! Boomer. 👊🏼

OU softball fans can be too much sometimes. Our team lost arguably the greatest group of seniors ever. A group of women that never ended a season on a loss. Winning is hard and this team has a LOT to work on but are still a top 10 team which is nuts considering everything we lost

There really isn't anything OU fans should hang their heads about. It was a tough series and both teams deserved to win on Monday.
"Just a hell of a series," coach Patrick Murphy said. "I'm so happy that No. 1, all three games were on TV. And No. 2, we had almost 13,000 people for a three-game series. Great facility, great teams showcased what a great sport softball is. Tonight was just a classic."
With the loss, OU (10-5) drops to third in the SEC and Alabama (7-8) is in 11th.
