NORMAN, Okla. -- Patty Gasso pulled Jocelyn Alo into her office and told college softball's eventual career home run queen to go home.

All runs, no matter how historic, must come to an end. Oklahoma’s reign atop the softball world officially came to a close with Lauren Allred’s sacrifice fly to give the 12-seeded Texas Tech Red Raiders a 3-2 win at Devon Park.

Despite all the turnover and parity the sport witnessed, Patty Gasso led OU softball to an SEC title and the WCWS semifinals.
