NORMAN — Patty Gasso walk from the dugout to the circle felt like it took forever.
She’d made the walk thousands of times in her career, but this one felt different.
After four years, it would all come down to this.
Up by six runs in OU’s eventual 7-0 win against Oklahoma State (36-19, 12-6 Big 12), Gasso finally reached the circle and gathered the Sooners together to take out ace pitcher Paige Parker for the final time in the regular season.
“I knew that we were going to do it, and I didn’t know what I was going to feel,” Gasso said.
