Tom Brady's niece Maya struggles as UCLA loses to Oklahoma: softball star strikes out three times in College Women's World Series

Tom Brady's niece, Maya, struggled at the plate on Saturday in the women's College World Series as Oklahoma edged past UCLA 1-0.

Maya, a shortstop, struck out three times and went 0-4 at the plate in a difficult day for the Bruins.

The game was not an elimination game for UCLA, though their path towards a national championship is certainly tougher.

Maya was born to Maureen Brady - Tom's sister - and Brian Timmons.

Maureen was an All-American pitcher at Fresno State and Maya's aunt, Julie Brady, is married to two- World Series winner Kevin Youkilis - who won both of his titles with the Boston Red Sox.

Tiare Jennings' solo homer in the third inning provided all the scoring for the second-seeded Sooners (56-6).

Freshman Kaitlyn Terry and sophomore Taylor Tinsley combined to allow just four hits for No. 6 UCLA, which saw its winning streak end at 14 games. The Bruins (43-11) will play in an elimination game Sunday against Stanford.
