It seemed fitting that the Crimson Tide\u2019s season ended at the hands of Oklahoma. The Sooners are the embodiment of what a college softball team should be in 2025. The real question is whether any of it will seep into Bama coach Patrick Murphy\u2019s consciousness.<\/p>\n

GAME 1: OKLAHOMA 3, ALABAMA 0<\/h3>\n

Sam Landry<\/strong> was just about what we expected her to be. She brilliantly pitched a complete game, allowing zero runs on just four hits with two walks and a hit-by-pitch, while recording five strikeouts. <\/p>\n

By the same measure, Jocelyn Briski<\/strong> did about what she has done most of the season. She has pitched games like this one and won thanks to run support. But it was not meant to be on Friday. The sophomore hurler was fine for two innings, In the 3rd, it was the same old story. She walked the leadoff batter and the next Sooner hit a bomb over the center field wall. Okie went down in order in the 4th, but the first batter of the 5th doubled. After a couple of outs, a single made it 3-0. Briski was removed after the inning for Alea Johnson<\/strong> who got three easy outs in the 6th.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Tide offense could not take advantage of scoring opportunities. Bama had runners on base in each of the first six innings and could not capitalize. They had runners in scoring position in the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th.<\/p>\n

Hawkins got charged with a tough luck error on an in-between pop-up that had a little miscommunication with the outfield on who would make the catch*. Beyond that play, the defense was good. It was the offense took a little siesta after that big inning. If this team could learn how to keep the pressure on, they could be dangerous.<\/p>\n
