Sooners destroy Texas, 16-1, in Game 1 of the WCWS National Title Series

In the first of a best-of-three series in the WCWS, the Oklahoma Sooners came to battle against the Texas Longhorns. It was early and the bases were loaded, but Gasso’s squad only surrendered one early run via a bases-loaded walk by Trautwein before the fun began. Going to the bottom of the first inning down 1-0, the Sooners started off with another Jayda Coleman double to set up an Alo bomb to put Oklahoma ahead 2-1. But then another batter one-upped Alo — Taylon Snow near the bottom of the lineup. She blasted a three-run homer to bring up the top of the rotation once again by the end of the first inning, by which Texas had already used three pitchers.
