Oklahoma redshirt senior Alex Storako got the text from her pitching coach in the middle of the afternoon, a few hours before game time, with the biggest assignment of her life.
“Here you go,” Sooners pitching coach Jennifer Rocha had written. “Here’s your moment.”
It meant that Storako would get the start for a game that would either cement the winningest season in college softball history for No. 1 Oklahoma, solidifying a dynasty by giving the program a third consecutive national championship, or snap the longest winning streak the game had ever seen and push the season to the edge.
