The No. 1 ranked Oklahoma Sooners proved too much for Texas softball in the Women’s College World Series. The Sooners are in the driver’s seat to advance to the championship series while the Longhorns move into the loser’s bracket.
Oklahoma’s offense got going early with a big fly from superstar Jocelyn Alo put the Sooners on top 2-0 in the first inning. Texas responded in the bottom half of the frame with an RBI double from Alyssa Washington to cut the deficit in half.
Both pitchers settled into the game nicely from that point on, exchanging zeros until Oklahoma broke the game open with a four-run fifth inning. Tiare Jennings capped of the inning with a two-run bomb over the left-field wall.
Janae Jefferson would go yard in the seventh but it would not be enough as Texas fell 7-2. The Horns will take on Arizona tomorrow in an elimination game.
Final: OU – 7 TEXAS – 2
We'll be back tomorrow 🤘#HookEm
