The No. 1 Oklahoma Sooners scored five runs in the bottom of the first inning in the Women’s College World Series championship series on Wednesday in Oklahoma City and never relented in dismantling the No. 14 Texas Longhorns in a 16-1 victory that included six home runs, a WCWS record.
A win on Thursday or Friday, if necessary, will give the Sooners a second straight national championship and sixth overall.
Oklahoma ace Hope Trautwein was able to get the first two outs without much trouble, but Texas mounted a two-out rally.
