The No. 1 national seed Texas Longhorns started hot and remained relentless in a five-inning, 10-0 run-rule victory over the No. 4 national seed Florida Gators in a complete performance at Devon Park in Oklahoma City on Saturday that served noticed to the rest of the bracket in the Women’s College World Series.
Head coach Mike White started right-hander Mac Morgan in the circle, counting on her big-game ability and reliable drop ball. Morgan delivered throughout, painting the corners and getting high-level defensive play behind her when she didn’t and Florida hit the ball hard, like a diving catch by Ashton Maloney in right field and an act of self preservation by third baseman Mia Scott to catch a scorching line drive.
