Everything Oklahoma coach Patty Gasso said after OU beat Oregon in the WCWS
Everything Oklahoma coach Patty Gasso said after OU beat Oregon in the WCWS Bittersweet. That's how Oklahoma softball coach Patty Gasso described her team's win over Oregon on Sunday in the Women's College World Series. The Sooners eliminated the Ducks to secure a place in the final four of the WCWS with a 4-1 win. Oregon is coached by former OU player and assistant Melissa Lombardi. Oklahoma will play Texas Tech on Monday. If the Sooners win the initial game against the Red Raiders, the two will meet again immediately after in a winner-take-all game for a spot in the WCWS championship series. Gasso had nothing but positive things to say about her protege Sunday, though, and looked forward to facing a former Big 12 opponent for Monday. Patty Gasso's opening statement Huge win for the Sooners. Personally, kind of bittersweet, because those are my people on the other side. It's hard to play on such a platform that means so much and it's going to end somebody's season. It was hard, but super proud of that staff and all that they've done, so really proud of Missy (Lombardi) specifically getting back here. She's dreamed of this for a long time. Gone through a lot to get here. Really happy for her. This team I think it all started in the circle. (Kierston Deal) came out and really handled her business pretty well. Gave up a run, but that's expected. We answered back pretty quickly. And then we had Sam (Landry) come in in a good matchup with their three-hole, I believe, and just kind of let her ride it through. We're in elimination time now so you do everything and anything you can. Just super happy for Cyd Sanders. Her senior year, what a wonderful memory to have, these home runs. Really timely hitting for some of them. At the same time, we left a lot of runners on base, but that means we're getting on a lot. Very pleased. I'll tell you, just straight up, we win a game and we walk over and we shake hands and we walk in the dugout like 'Hey, OK' and I'm like 'Do you know what we just did? Does anyone know what we just did? We're in the Final Four.' 'Yeah, we're good. We're swag. Swaggy swag.' I'm just like, 'Somebody celebrate. Can we do something fun.' They're just the most calm, chill. Sometimes I'm like 'I don't know that you know. Do you know?' 'Yeah, we're good.' So I'm like OK. Hopefully we'll have some massive celebrations in the future. But I'm really happy and proud of these guys. Gasso on the challenge of having to beat Tech twice (Associated head coach JT Gasso) has got a lot of work to get going on. I do, to someone's point, we talked about the amount of elite pitchers we have faced and have had some success off of. That's what we're going to live off of. We're going to have to make a few adjustments for sure. But we're fighting. We're fighting for our lives now. That's what it's going to look like. It's going to be a fight on our side to say we will not surrender for anyone or anything. That's how we're going to approach it. Gasso on Oklahoma's pitching plan for Monday I like where we're at. I have no idea how we're piecing it together quite yet. But everybody is, they're going to empty their tanks, without question. Gasso on Sanders' clutch-ness Very needed for this offense. Cyd is exactly what you just saw. Very chill. Very easy-going. Does not get affected by much of anything. Just getting her swing on. Grein is tough. She is tough. Definitely facing her will help us tomorrow. But Cyd is just very unassuming. Doesn't get all caught up in the thought process. She just waits for her moment. Gasso on wanting to see her team respond after losing to Texas OK, the warm-up was better, for sure. Seven innings, they get distracted. They just look around a little bit. They talk some. They just kind of become spectators sometimes. I don't need them to be like the little kids in the 10-and-under teams in the dugout, but I do need them paying attention. They are. They just sometimes don't make a lot of noise. Every once in a while they'll create something. They were definitely more focused and ready today. They learned a valuable lesson. That's one thing we're doing this season is learning so many valuable lessons to help this team go into next year so much better than when we started. I'm on an amazing ride. I don't know how they feel. They don't share a lot. They just walk off the field, walk in the locker room like 'what are we having for dinner?' I'm like 'OK.' I want to celebrate with somebody, but it's swaggy but it's bizarre at the same time. Trying to figure it out. On Tech being a newcomer to the WCWS It's been cool to see new faces because that brings in more fans and fan bases. I've known coach Glasgow for quite a long time. I've watched his career move around some. He's an amazing coach. He really is. Some of the stuff he pulls out of his hat is pretty epic. He does it the right way. I really enjoy going up against him because you know you're going to have a battle. Ole Miss the same thing. I was also a member of the Big 12 for 30 years. To see a Big 12 team get in here that's a new name. That's really, really cool for the Big 12. Ole Miss just got on that hot run. Sometimes it's fun to follow those underdogs or Ole Miss that way. The experience, when you have a team that comes to the World Series - that's why I'm really excited for Missy because she really worked hard. Her standard and my standard are very similar and so to finally get her team here. I was just watching. I was a fan from afar. I was really rooting for them. It's going to edify and move her program to a new level. Gasso on whether four WCWS titles or nine straight elimination wins is more impressive Oh, I don't know. That's impressive. Nine is pretty dang impressive. That's character. That's like, we are not going to quit. So I love, love, love that. But it's also nice raising a trophy and taking an easier route. I do respect the fact that our team fights their tail off to the end. Gasso on preparing Sam Landry to face former coach and teammates I'm going to work on that. That's a good question. She's so different. She's quite different. She's quite a different pitcher than she was. And she really, really showcased, she threw really well tonight. Really well. I hope that will carry over for her and just really have tunnel vision and blinders on and not worry so much on that side but more about her girls on her side. Gasso on the importance of seeing her former assistants get love from current schools Thank you for asking that question. If you aren't investing in Melissa Lombardi then you're not paying attention. Not only is she a great coach and very organized and a hustling, hustling staff that recruits very well, but she's an extreme professional and does it the right way. Treats her players the right way. Expects hard work on the field but also her players walking through the line were very grateful for the game that we have, wished us luck. She is turning girls into women and that's what we've done at OU. That's what she was when she came to OU was a girl that turned into a woman. She's one of the best out there. There's no question about that.

Ryan Blaney wins at Nashville for first NASCAR Cup Series checkered flag of the year
'I never gave up hope that's for sure,' Blaney said. 'We've had great speed all year. It just hasn't really been the best year for us as far as good fortune. But [No.] 12 boys are awesome. They stick with it no matter how it goes.' Advertisement He became the ninth different winner this season and the fifth driver to win in as many races at Nashville. He also gave Team Penske a second straight Cup win at Nashville's 1.33-mile concrete track. Blaney, who started 15th, quickly drove his way to the front as he won the second stage. He easily held off Carson Hocevar by 2.83 seconds. Hocevar matched his career-best finish at Atlanta in February after complaining during the race that his No. 77 Chevrolet was undriveable. 'Either I'm really dramatic or they're really good on adjustments,' Hocevar said. 'Probably a little bit of both, but, yeah, proud of this group, proud of this car. A place that is really, really difficult to pass, we're able to go 26th to second.' Advertisement Ricky Stenhouse Jr. didn't finish his first race this year. He was the first out when Hocevar tapped his No. 47 Chevrolet, spinning Stenhouse into the wall between Turns 3 and 4 for the second caution of the race on lap 106. Denny Hamlin finished third in his 700th career Cup Series race, matching the third-place finish by Jeff Gordon at Darlington in 2013 for the best finish in a driver's 700th race. Joey Logano, who won here last year, was fourth and William Byron fifth. Hamlin was hoping for one more caution that never came after seven cautions for 35 laps. 'Just couldn't run with the 12 [Blaney] there in the super long run,' Hamlin said. 'After 40 laps, I could maintain with him. But then after that, he just pulled away and stretched it on us.' There was a sprint to the finish under green forcing teams and drivers to pick and choose went to pit. Blaney had led 107 laps when he went to the pits under green on lap 248. Hamlin took the lead before going to pit road on lap 256. Brad Keselowski had the lead when he went to the pits on lap 269, and Blaney took the lead for the final 31 laps. Hamlin raced Sunday night hoping to take advantage of his starting spot beside pole-sitter Chase Briscoe. Whether Hamlin would chase his third win this season had been in question with his third child, a boy, due the same day. Hamlin practiced and qualified well, so he drove his No. 11 Toyota even as Joe Gibbs Racing had Ryan Truex on standby in case Hamlin got the call that his fiancee was in labor. Hamlin won the first stage. Advertisement Tyler Reddick beat his boss Hamlin, a co-owner of his 23XI Racing team, to new parent status, which Reddick announced on social media earlier Sunday. His family welcomed their second son at 2:20 a.m. on May 25, then Reddick followed up hours later by finishing 26th in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte.

Ryan Blaney races to first NASCAR Cup Series victory of the year at Nashville
Associated Press LEBANON, Tenn. (AP) — Ryan Blaney gave fans a burnout to celebrate kicking off the second half of the NASCAR season by running away down the stretch for his first Cup Series victory of the year Sunday night at Nashville Superspeedway. 'I'm ready to go celebrate,' Blaney said. The 2023 Cup champ had been racing well with five top-five finishes over the first half of this season. He finally got to victory lane in the No. 12 Ford Mustang for Team Penske for his 14th career victory and first since Martinsville in November. 'I never gave up hope that's for sure," Blaney said.

His No. 16 Chevrolet was sent back to the garage and then the scanning station before practice and qualifying. The No. 66 Ford of Chad Finchum failed inspection twice leading to engineer Austin Webb's ejection. The Garage 66 team also lost pit stall selection.
