You can watch the ESPY Awards live at 7 p.m. on Thursday on KOCO 5.
On Thursday, the University of Oklahoma softball team will discover whether it has won either of the two ESPY awards for which it has been nominated.
The Sooners are nominated for Best Team after winning their fourth national championship in a row, while senior outfielder Jayda Coleman is nominated for Best Play for her walk-off home run against Florida that secured a position in the Women’s College World Series final.
