Jocelyn Alo and Oklahoma softball cement themselves as the GOATs

Patty Gasso is overwhelmed with emotion after her team's win over Texas. She is proud of her players and their team. They have won four titles in the last six tournaments. The team is considered a dynasty. She finds herself watching the postgame celebration like a fan. "They don't realize how good they are," she says. It's the first time in 364 days that Oklahoma has won a national championship.

Oklahoma won the WCWS with a record-breaking team. Jocelyn Alo and her teammates set the bar so high that the spectacular became routine. They had six players with 13 or more home runs. Jenny Dalton-Hill was a key part of Arizona teams in the 1990s. There was no stadium for Oklahoma softball when it started in 1994. There wasn't even a dedicated field. The team had to pick up beer cans from the field before practice. It was played at Reaves Park. Gasso started scouting junior colleges for players. She found them. In the fall of 1994, there was only Reves Park and a dugout so small it couldn't hold all the players at once.

Jocelyn Alo left Oklahoma softball late Thursday night. She is leaving behind a team that she believes will be the best in the world. She thinks the 2022 Sooners are the team to beat. They are expected to be better next season. The team will have more players than ever. It will also have a new pitcher and a player from the transfer portal. Ala thinks they will continue to get better.
