After a Dream Run at the College World Series, Odicci Alexander Got the Ovation She Deserved

Odicci Alexander had a Women's College World Series to remember. The James Madison University pitcher threw 64.2 innings as the underdog Dukes made a dream run through college softball's championship tournament, defeating four teams in the top 10 and one team in the top 25 and becoming the first non-seeded team to ever start the WCWS 2-0.

Alexander put the team on her back throughout the tournament, posting a 2.92 ERA with 66 strikeouts that ranked second in the tournament. The performance that really put Alexander and JMU on the map was a stunning upset of No. 1-ranked Oklahoma in the first round of the WCWS, sending the Dukes to the winners' bracket, where Alexander subsequently held No. 5 Oklahoma State to one run in a 2-1 victory.

Despite the exit, JMU's incredible run and Alexander's transcendent performance took the softball world by storm. When she left the final game in the sixth inning, it was to a standing ovation — from a crowd comprised of mostly Oklahoma fans, who filled the Sooners' home stadium."A lot of people didn't really think that we could do this," Alexander said in a postgame press conference.
