Aloha and welcome to a softball extravaganza (plus some football) episode of AWHiP. First off, if you didn’t watch UW’s regional games this weekend, we pity you. I mean, how often is it that you get to watch a fellow non-Gabby crush as many souls as Gabbie Plain did Sunday? (The answer is “never” amount of times, by the way. I would know, as the only other non-Gabby in a 1,000 mile radius.)
The teams: No. 1 Oklahoma vs. No. 16 Washington
What to watch for: The Sooners are one of the most explosive, dangerous offenses in the country. They rank No. 1 in the country in home runs, slugging, batting average and more. They showed it this past weekend with 24 runs scored against Wichita State and production from their entire lineup. They hit six home runs in the regional finals. Nicole Mendes had a seven-RBI performance on Friday, and freshman Tiare Jennings has been huge. You cannot stop this offense.
But they are going up against Washington, one of the best defenses in the country, Pac-12 defensive player of the year Sis Bates and Gabbie Plain, who ranks in the top three in the country in strikeouts. This is now a different story here than what OU faced in the regionals. The Huskies took down Michigan twice to win the regional final and had an explosive fourth inning offensively in game seven with seven runs scored in one inning.
