WCWS records tied or broken

  • In Game 9, Georgia broke the NCAA-era home run record in a single WCWS game with four: two from Taylor Schlopy, one from Brianna Hesson, and one from Ashley Pauly. Schlopy became only the fourth player in NCAA-era WCWS history to hit two home runs in one game.
  • In game 11, Washington's Niki Williams broke the NCAA-era WCWS single-game RBI record with seven RBIs, including a fifth inning grand slam.
