Oklahoma Smokes Texas (16-1) in Game 1 of Women’s College World Series
The softball edition of the Red River Rivalry will decide the Women’s College World Series, and Game 1 was a rout. Texas took a 1-0 lead in the top of the 1st inning to lead off Game 1 on Wednesday night, but the Longhorns’ smiles quickly dissipated. Oklahoma hung five runs in the bottom of the 1st before torching Texas with runs in every inning the rest of the way. OU rang up 16 runs by the 6th frame. Sooners star Jocelyn Alo went 3-for-3 with two home runs and three RBIs. Tiare Jennings (4-for-5, 5 RBIs) also went yard twice while Taylor Snow smacked a blast of her own — six total Oklahoma HRs. The Sooners are the No. 1 overall seed and the defending champs. They can close out the WCWS tonight with a Game 2 win in the best-of-3 series.
