The Oklahoma Sooners are one win away from a berth in the Women’s College World Series with a 7-2 win over long-time foe the Texas Longhorns.
[autotag]Jocelyn Alo[/autotag] and [autotag]Tiare Jennings[/autotag] continued their incredible postseason with another pair of home runs and Oklahoma got another clutch pitching performance from [autotag]Hope Trautwein[/autotag] to advance to the WCWS semifinals.
It was only the fourth time in 29 appearances that Trautwein had allowed two earned runs, but she was methodical in her complete-game performance. Trautwein scattered six hits over seven innings and allowed just two walks in the game. It was a solid bounce-back performance after giving five free passes on Thursday night to Northwestern.
[autotag]Rylie Boone[/autotag] kickstarted a Sooners rally for the second straight game with her fifth-inning bunt single. That lead-off hit led to a four-run fifth inning that was the difference in the ball game.
Oklahoma now awaits the winner of Sunday’s UCLA vs. Florida matchup but before that, let’s take a look back on Oklahoma’s 7-2 win over the Texas Longhorns.
