OKLAHOMA CITY — Patty Gasso noticed fans leaving Devon Park as Thursday's game went into the seventh inning. The Sooners didn't just trail Tennessee 3-1. They had trailed since the first inning, and OU hadn't offered much evidence that things would turn around. Gasso wasn't sure the Sooners would win. But she knew they weren't going to roll over. "One thing, if you're watching us through the season, (is) we're never done," Gasso said.
