The Oklahoma Sooners are one win away from a berth in the Women’s College World Series with a 7-2 win over long-time foe the Texas Longhorns.
Jocelyn Alo and Tiare Jennings continued their incredible postseason with another pair of home runs and Oklahoma got another clutch pitching performance from Hope Trautwein to advance to the WCWS semifinals.
It was only the fourth time in 29 appearances that Trautwein had allowed two earned runs, but she was methodical in her complete-game performance. Trautwein scattered six hits over seven innings and allowed just two walks in the game. It was a solid bounce-back performance after giving five free passes on Thursday night to Northwestern.
Rylie Boone kickstarted a Sooners rally for the second straight game with her fifth-inning bunt single. That lead-off hit led to a four-run fifth inning that was the difference in the ball game.
Oklahoma now awaits the winner of Sunday’s UCLA vs. Florida matchup but before that, let’s take a look back on Oklahoma’s 7-2 win over the Texas Longhorns.
