Texas falls 7-2 to No. 1 Oklahoma
The remarkable postseason run for the Texas Longhorns hit a setback against the No. 1 Oklahoma Sooners in the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City on Saturday as the Sooners used two big home runs to secure a 7-2 victory and send the Longhorns into the loser’s bracket.
Oklahoma jumped out to a quick lead over Texas in the top of the first inning. Center fielder Jayda Coleman led off with a double to right-center and star designated player Jocelyn Alo continued her torrid run through the 2022 season, taking advantage of a mistake by Texas right-hander Hailey Dolcini up and out over the plate for a two-run home run to take a 2-0 lead before Dolcini even recorded an out.
