College Softball Daily Report: 3/21/26

With 11 additional home runs, Oklahoma (122) and UCLA (94) continue to surge toward the NCAA single‑season regular‑season home run record of 161. Plenty of series were even across college softball. Elsewhere, Alabama and Oklahoma State each suffered unexpected losses that reshaped the weekend landscape. Meanwhile, parity remained a defining theme across the mid‑major ranks. Those developments and more headline Saturday’s edition of the College Softball Daily Report.
