OU Sooners beat Texas Longhorns, winning the sixth NCAA WCWS title
Come to Queens, you will not miss.
Texas had an early chance to disrupt the establishment of the OU, looking to win the Women’s College World Series for the second consecutive season and the sixth time in the program’s history.
But the Longhorns’ first shot – the first two times – was no small feat for the Sooners, who eventually came out on top and there was nothing Texas could do to reduce the inevitable.
OR blasted the Longhorns 10-5 to sweep the WCWS game series Thursday night at the USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium.
He soon finished 59-3 seasons, one of the most prestigious seasons in NCAA softball history.
For three innings, it looks like Texas can only force Game 3.

They were giving OU starter Jordy Bahl a perfect fit for the plate and although the leading wrestlers arrived at the starting point recently, the OU’s powerful batsmen could not find a way to connect anything to the founders of Longhorns Estelle Czech.
After Wednesday’s 16-1 draw with OU, Texas coach Mike White said monitoring recent mistakes was impossible.
“We have to do our best to defeat them,” White said. “They put another number, four or five, we have to find a way to get seven. That’s the way it is, you know. ”
The Longhorns looked at the challenge early on, hitting the ball around the park when Bahl was not traveling to Texas.
Janae Jefferson led the bottom of the first and hit hard between Mia Scott before following the other on the left.
After walking, Alyssa Washington almost chased the ball away from the park but instead was injured by a sacrificial fly.
Mary Iakopo shot herself, driving in the middle while Jayda Coleman jumped and pulled again for another fly that lifted Longhorns 2-0.
Courtney Day, one of the WCWS stars of Longhorns, then moved on to another, this time in the middle left.
But Coleman followed suit, jumping heavily and stealing the Home Day run that would have put the Longhorns 5-0.
Instead, the decline in OU was only two.

Bahl allowed two runners-up and one-third – eliminated from the two games that started with the water show of Sooners’s Grace Lyons – before settling down.
It took OR a while for it to happen in frustration.
The Sooners shot in the first three games but found nothing at Texas’ Estelle Czech.
But then the doors opened.
OR tie the fourth when Alyssa Brito starts and doubles the error before allowing Brito to come write. Taylor Snow built it with an RBI single.
Fifth, it was the result of an OU plan to take place once Tiare Jennings voted and Lyons were hit with a bang.
Brito gave the Sooners their first lead with an RBI twice and Kinzie Hansen followed with a three-run home run to put OU 6-2.
The Sooners then snatched all chances of Friday’s game with four more in the sixth, a big hit run by Lyons three times.
Then it was just a matter of counting the results.
Bahl went through the first four innings, allowing just two hits when the first two batters touched him.
Then Nicole May came to bring the game to the seventh, allowing only one hit.

With one in seven, Sooners coach Patty Gasso brought Hope Trautwein to finish round and Jocelyn Alo – the all-time home winner in NCAA history – to finish.
Trautwein, who grew up a Texas fanatic in the Austin area, is a long-time senior among OU’s first three pitchers and came out as one of the WCWS stars.
Trautwein was persuaded by Scott to run home three times, but this only delayed the inevitable.
Fans around the park stood up for their phones with every two words to capture the celebration.
Then came, as we walked, with Washington slowly settling down for Jennings again. By the time Jennings threw a Snow Glove, the party had begun around the city.
In the top three wins, OR won Texas 26-6.
In six WCWS games, the Sooners beat 64-17 opponents.
No team has ever scored more than 49 runs in the WCWS. No other team other than the OU team has competed in the last season that scored 47.
