The Class 6A-3A Oklahoma high school fastpitch softball state championships were held on Saturday at Devon Park.
Here are recaps from each game:

Shane Eicher envisioned how the Class 6A state playoffs would go in Owasso’s favor ahead of their quarterfinal matchup.
He also did it last year. And the year before that. And the year before that year.
In total, Eicher has previously led Owasso to six state postseason appearances and failed in all his attempts. So, when he received a Gatorade bath from his players after Owasso defeated Choctaw for a state title, he breathed a comforting sigh of relief.
For the first time since 1995, Owasso is the 6A fastpitch state champion.
“I guess the seventh time’s the charm,” Eicher said.
“This means the world to me, mainly because they’re great kids. Many of them are multi-sport kids and still give their all to this game every time they step on the field. What more can you ask for?”
