Oklahoma and Texas are competing in the SEC Softball Tournament for the first time since leaving the Big 12
The quarterfinals of the 2025 SEC Softball Tournament are here with eight teams looking to punch their ticket to the semifinals. The top four seeds, including Oklahoma and Texas, will play their first games of the tournament after earning the double-bye.
On Wednesday, four teams earned the right to play in the quarterfinals as LSU, Arkansas, Ole Miss and South Carolina won their second-round matchups. The best game of the day was No. 11 seed Ole Miss’ upset of No. 6 seed Florida. The Rebels took a 3-1 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning, but Jocelyn Erickson and Taylor Shumaker hit back-to-back home runs to tie the game for Florida.
That tie game didn’t last long because, in the top of the eighth, Mackenzie Pickens launched a three-run homer that proved to be the difference in the game.
Wednesday’s winners will now face an even greater challenge in the semifinals as the top four seeds await in Athens, Ga. Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Texas and Tennessee should all be fresh after watching the first two days of the tournament.
With 11 games in just the first three days combined, fans can following along for score updates right here at CBS Sports. The full 2025 SEC Softball Tournament schedule can be found below.
