The Sooners didn’t clinch the program’s sixth national championship with the victory, but it would take an incredible collapse for that not to happen at this point. OU hasn’t lost back-to-back games since February 2020, and it would take two consecutive wins by the Longhorns to keep the Sooners from taking the title for the second consecutive season and fourth time in the last six championships.After Jayda Coleman led off with a double and Alo chased it with a home run in Saturday’s 7-2 OU win over the Longhorns in the second round, Texas coach Mike White was asked why he didn’t walk Alo.
“That’s not the way I play softball,” White said then, going on to call the Sooners’ lineup “Murderers' Row,” recalling the famous 1927 New York Yankees.
