Grace Green was looking for them all game.
Finally, in the sixth inning, she found them. Her parents and grandma were sitting in the outfield bleachers watching as Green played her first career Big 12 tournament game.
“I was so happy when I saw them, and then I was happy I hit that ball,” Green said. “I spotted them and I was like, ‘Oh no, don’t think about it.’”
The Oklahoma freshman first baseman promptly smacked a ball down the right-field line for two RBIs and her first career triple. When Shay Knighten followed with a single to left field, it was Green who touched home plate for the game-ending run in a 8-0 win against Texas Tech.
