And here I was thinking how sad it was that rain decided the National Championship.
Puh-lease. The players in the rain decided the National Championship. One team let the weather get to them, one did not. And it wasn't just Rickett's WPs. The SS threw an easy out into the ground and the LF made a poor throw home. Not one error during the rain by Alabama, in fact two nice plays by 2B who had committed a errors earlier in the series.
The Sooner's fate was sealed the minute their coach stormed out of the dugout to complain about her pitcher's grip on the ball. Sent a clear message to her team that she thought they were not in control of the game and they had a perfect excuse to lose focus.
Meanwhile, the Crimson Tide, down by 2 runs, cheered and danced with their fans.
