The Oklahoma Sooners claimed the sixth national championship in program history with their 10-5 win over the Texas Longhorns. The Longhorns rebounded from the 16-1 loss the night before to put up a fight for three innings until the Oklahoma Sooners offense got going in the fourth.
Though Texas tried to spoil a perfect night with a three-run home run in the bottom of the seventh, the Sooners were able to win their second straight national title and give Jocelyn Alo a proper send-off in her last game in an Oklahoma Sooners uniform.
The Sooners tied the game in the top of the fourth and then got three-run homers from Kinzie Hansen in the fifth and Grace Lyons in the sixth to break the game open. The eight runs combined over the fourth and fifth inning put the game away and the Sooners closed it out with two pop flies to Alo and a groundout to Tiare Jennings.
Fitting really, as the power duo of Alo and Jennings dominated in the Women’s College World Series.
