Frazier fanned 12 and allowed just one hit in seven innings Friday afternoon. She's struck out 23 batters in the state tournament.

“No words can express how I feel right now,” she said. “I'm so happy to finally be back in the finals. I'm overwhelmed.”

Frazier said she's dreamed of playing in a state championship game since she first picked up a softball. She'll receive her third opportunity when Little Axe plays for the Class 3A state title at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at ASA against Sequoyah-Tahlequah.

Little Axe (27-10) won the Class 4A state title in 2010 and the Class 3A state title in 2011. Frazier said the chance to win a third straight title is an opportunity she never thought she'd have.

“It's huge to us,” Frazier said. “It means a lot to me, a lot to our community, a lot to our team — it's a huge deal.”

Little Axe coach Mike Bread hugged each of his players after the game and gushed about his senior pitcher's performance.
