University of Oklahoma legend Lauren Chamberlain, the NCAA's career home run leader with 95, announced her retirement from softball Friday night at the Women's College World Series.

"I never thought that I would say those words, but unfortunately, I can only go as far as my body would let me, and it's not letting me go any further," she told ESPN's Holly Rowe in an interview.

Chamberlain, 25, who played for Oklahoma from 2012 to 2015, was the sole owner of the Sooners' record for most home runs in a season with 30, until Jocelyn Alo matched it last season.

Chamberlain spent four seasons with the National Pro Fastpitch's USSSA Pride, ending her career with a .247/.348/.528 batting line, 34 home runs and 91 RBIs. She hit .350 with 12 homers and 30 RBIs in 2018.

For ESPN the Magazine's Body Issue last year, Chamberlain spoke candidly about her injuries, saying she had shoulder surgery and a biceps repair, as well as a diskectomy in her back in February 2018.

"Softball's been the love of my life," Chamberlain said Friday. "Every time I played, I was hoping that someone would fall in love with the game, with what they saw. So I just know that everything that softball's given me, I hope that I gave the fan in return and that we can grow the sport."

Among the people Chamberlain thanked was Sooners coach Patty Gasso.

"We went off on this field," Chamberlain said. "I'm so grateful for softball. I will always be grateful. ... OU, Patty Gasso has been so influential in my life, and just the opportunity to play at the University of Oklahoma, again this arena and win national championships, I'm always grateful for my experiences."
