“But to be able to come back and answer with five the way we did just really was the way we wanted to start the game. Trautwein pitched five complete innings in the win, striking out two Texas batters while surrendering two hits and four walks. Hitting that home run in that environment, I mean, I feel like all of us can say it's crazy. Luckily we got out of it relatively unscathed. “It's comforting to know that we can go out there and just, like I said before, have each other's back. Alo’s two-run shot and Snow’s three-run bomb forced Longhorns coach Mike White to withdraw his ace pitcher Hailey Dolcini after facing just seven batters.

It's a good old Red River Showdown between the top-seeded Oklahoma softball Sooners and Texas in the WCWS championship series.

Texas is playing extremely well this late in the season. The Longhorns got here by defeating both Washington in the regional and Arkansas in the Super Regional on the road, and they eliminated Oklahoma State, the Big 12 Championship winner and second-best team in the Big 12 in the WCWS. They will be a formidable foe for the Sooners in the championship series, but they are not at the same level as this Oklahoma team. The Sooner pitching staff is among the very best in the country. The Sooners have outscored their opponents’ this season by the combined score of 553-59. Texas also is one of the three teams that has beaten Oklahoma in this historic Sooner softball season. Second baseman Janae Jefferson is the offensive leader of the team.

We are down to two teams in the Women's College World Series: Unseeded Texas and No. 1 seed Oklahoma. Which team will win the WCWS?

Texas is going to want this thing. And even if they fall behind, the Longhorns have 18 comeback wins this season, so who knows how close this series could be." But this is a different Texas team. Both of those teams did not make the Women's College World Series. Nonetheless, Patty Gasso’s squad is deep, talented, and motivated and they have made quick work of opponents since they dropped the final game of the Big 12 tournament. Going back-to-back is a tough thing to do in any sport, yes, but guess who the last team to do it was.

The Oklahoma Sooners put it on the Texas Longhorns 16-1 in the championship series opener and it left Social Media abuzz.

The Sooners also set a single-game record for most home runs in a WCWS championship game with six. Here two home runs last night gave her 34 on the season and tied her career-high from a season ago. Each time they take the field, they seem to come up with a new way to amaze us as we watch arguably the most dominant team in the history of collegiate athletics.

The Oklahoma Sooners continue to set a new standard for offense and set several new records in their 16-1 win over the Texas Longhorns.
