Oklahoma Sooners win 1st game of finals in Women’s College World Series

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Jocelyn Alo and Tiare Jennings fueled Oklahoma’s record-setting offensive burst to help the Sooners move a victory away from successfully defending their Women’s College World Series title.

Each hit two home runs and top-seeded Oklahoma (58-3) set a World Series record with six home runs, rolling past unseeded Texas 16-1 on Wednesday night in Game 1 of the best-of-three championship series.

Alo set a single-game World Series mark with five runs and now has set the single-series record for runs scored with 11. She went 3-for-3 and increased her batting average to a nation-leading .527.
