Oklahoma vs Texas Softball Preview
Oklahoma faces Texas for the national championship in the Women’s College World Series, which continues Wednesday and potentially runs through Friday.
The Sooners (57-3) have dominated almost everyone this season but face one of the few teams that managed to beat them. Texas (47-20-1) did that in a 4-2 victory on April 16. Otherwise, the Sooners have a 3-1 record against the Longhorns this season.
Despite that, the Longhorns came into the tournament unseeded.
“It’s crazy,” Texas pitcher Estelle Czech said via ESPN. “It’s mind-boggling. And I wouldn’t want to go through it with anyone else. Our pitching staff is stacked. Our hitting is stacked. Defense is stacked. We’re so hyped. No one thought that we would be here, but we proved everyone wrong, and we’re going to play very hard.”
Texas celebrated the April 14 win over the Sooners with a Gatorade bath for pitcher Hailey Dolcini, who held Oklahoma to a pair of runs on two hits.
“We learned a lot from this game, in many ways,” Gasso said via Oklahoma Athletics after the loss. “We learned a lot from this entire series, in ways that will make us better.”
“To be realistic, we weren’t going to go undefeated through the season. It was just a matter of time,” Gasso added. “We got outplayed, and that’s exactly why we have our first loss. They earned it. They played well, their pitcher was fantastic and they did everything right. That’s what it came down to.”
“We take this back to Norman and we refine and we get better,” Gasso continued. “That’s what you do with losses. There were no breakdowns in the locker room, whatsoever. It’s understanding that we need to fine-tune a lot of things as we go forward.”
