Champion Oklahoma softball team goes viral with message of faith: 'Incredibly inspiring'

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt discusses the team's viral message after winning the Women's College World Series.

The Oklahoma Sooners secured their third consecutive softball national championship last week, but beyond their skills on the field, the players garnered national attention for their message of faith during their successful run. 

Some players were vocal about their strategy prior to winning the Women's College World Series title, crediting their faith as the basis for continued joy and perseverance through the season. 

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, R., touted the team's will to speak out on their faith during "Fox & Friends," slamming the far-left for its "attacks" against the players for their stance.

"I'm just so proud of them," Stitt told Brian Kilmeade Monday. "That's their third straight national championship, and Coach Patty Gasso is just an amazing leader, but that's what we believe… This is just amazing to me. The joy of the Lord is our strength, and that's the great thing about our country."

A clip of the Oklahoma Sooners speaking publicly about their faith went viral on Twitter when they were asked about their playing style and strategy.
