One year ago, on the heels of a dominant season, gymnastics powerhouse Oklahoma missed out on the NCAA finals for the first time since 2012 after a series of shocking misses on vault.

A 9.925 from Audrey Davis on bars in the fourth rotation led the way for Oklahoma's seventh title since 2014.

A few hours before Corbin was set to start, Texas manager Bruce Bochy told reporters that the pitcher was "50/50" because of how much his foot had swelled.
