Oklahoma City-Oklahoma’s defense is a reality of Snurs’ prolific attacks with two home runs to defeat rival Texas 10-5 and win two consecutive national championships late Thursday night. I kept things close until it became a thing.
The Suners have won six Women’s College World Series under the direction of Patty Gasso, including four out of the last seven. Due to COVID-19, the 2020 postseason has been cancelled.
Oklahoma recorded 17 home runs in WCWS and 15 home runs since last season. He also set a total of 64 records scored during the WCWS.
Even before the confetti was shot into the night sky to celebrate the victory, the question became clear: was this the best softball team ever? The team led the country in batting average, home runs and ERA. Only three games were lost.
Her teammates did not participate in the debate, but Oklahoma slugger Joslyn Alo was happy to give her opinion.
“I think I’m a senior. I think this is the best team,” she said.
Gasso said it’s best to leave the answer to someone else who wants to analyze the statistics, but she vomits anyway.
“We were able to rank very high, if not the best,” she said.
He certainly played that way in the final against Texas, leading 2-0 in the first inning and keeping Oklahoma scoreless until hits began to gather in the fourth inning.
Oklahoma center fielder Jida Coleman helped maintain the score early on when he returned to the first top with a two-run home run over the fence. Suners shortstop Grace Lions later had a great moment in the field. She pulled the ground ball deep into her right hole, dropped it on one of her knees, and flipped it to second base, which Tiare Jennings tapped and threw at the bag. First complete the double play.
Then, after scratching two runs and connecting the fourth game, the Oklahoma bat finally came back to life. Alyssa Brito, who doubled down the left fielder line, gave the Snurs a one-run lead. After four pitches, Kinsey Hansen hit a three-run home run on the left fielder and interrupted the match. Hansen has been a home run since April 16th.
After Jennings’ sacrifice fly topped the table in the sixth inning, the Lions hit a three-run home run and extended their lead to eight.
“Pitching with Jordi [Bahl] But until we found a way to get on the board, defense created this momentum for us over and over again, “Gasso said. Timely hitter, clutch hitter when needed. “
Alo, the greatest leader in career home runs in history, spent a rare night without sending or driving the ball over the fence in a single run.
During a 16-to-1 blowout in Game 1 of the Championship series, Alo hit two home runs, bringing the total to five at WCWS.
Fifth grade Alo plays professionally, but hasn’t said whether he’ll be in the Women’s Professional Fastpitch League or Athletics Unlimited, which was drafted first overall in May.
She finishes the final season with .515 batting average, 34 home runs and 85 RBIs.
“Man, she loves Snurs,” Gasso said of Alo. “She loves the state. She loves everything in the OU and just wanted to give the OU fan base everything she has. She left it. She left it. I left it in the field and forever in the history book. “
