Jocelyn Alo and Tiare Jennings put Oklahoma on the brink of a repeat national championship with their stellar play throughout the Women’s College World Series.
OKLAHOMA CITY — Kinzie Hansen and Grace Lyons hit three-run homers, Jayda Coleman made spectacular defensive plays and No. 1 seed Oklahoma defeated unseeded Texas 10-5 on Thursday night to win its second straight title.
“These are the moments that I’ll remember forever," she said. “I’m just happy to be going out top and to just know that all the hard work we put in paid off." The future looks bright for the Sooners. Jennings — just a sophomore — set a World Series record with 15 RBIs. Coleman is a sophomore, too. Texas wasn't even expected to reach the World Series, but the Longhorns expected a better performance than they gave in Game 1. Texas coach Mike White called Wednesday's loss to Oklahoma embarrassing and thought Thursday's effort was better.
Mia Scott hit a three-run homer and JJ Smith had two hits for the Longhorns , who had survived six elimination games in NCAA tournament play before Thursday. “I have seen Jayda do that over and over and over in practice, but when it’s in a game and she has your back as well as everyone else on our defense, that stuff fires me up more than any strikeout ever will," Bahl said. “It gives us momentum and really just lets me take a deep breath because they got me."
