UCLA throttles Oklahoma 16-3 in Game 1 of three-game NCAA championship series

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Rachel Garcia hit a two-run homer and gave up one run in five innings, and UCLA routed Oklahoma 16-3 on Monday to take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three championship series.

Garcia, who threw 179 pitches on Sunday to earn the win against Washington, threw just 61 on Monday. And a day after hitting a dramatic walk-off homer, she cranked one of UCLA's four home runs against Oklahoma.

Kinsley Washington went 4 for 4 and scored three times for UCLA, which matched the World Series single-game record for runs scored.

Game 2 will be played Tuesday.
