Oklahoma capped a dominant campaign with a second consecutive WCWS title.
OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma sent the signal early in the game that its dominant season wasn’t about to end short of a sweep in the Women’s College World Series championship series.Jayda Coleman felt it, after robbing Texas' Courtney Day of what would’ve been a three-run homer in the first inning.
Sooners shortstop Grace Lyons had a diving stop of a Mary Iakopo hard bouncer that seemed destined for left field in the third inning and Tiare Jennings somehow turned the throw around quick enough to get Iakopo at first to end the inning. “Those are missed opportunities,” White said. “Because you know they’re going to come back and fight tough. They make adjustments at the plate.”While OU was making highlight-worthy plays all over the field, Texas couldn’t match.
Even with a little letup by OU at the end — Scott hit a three-run home run off Hope Trautwein with two outs in the seventh — the Longhorns couldn’t get to White’s magic number, not that it would’ve been enough anyway. “I told the team before we even started in the tournament, ‘defense plays a huge role,’ ” Gasso said. “Now hitting, timely hitting, pitching , but defense can make or break you.As Gasso watched Jennings field Alyssa Washington’s grounder and throw to Snow for the final out, she tried to soak it all in.
