Watch: ESPN's Jessica Mendoza talks Women's College World Series, Jocelyn Alo, Title IX with Yardbarker

Last week, the Oklahoma softball team wrapped up its sweep of Texas in the 2022 Women's College World Series behind the legendary bat of Jocelyn Alo.

On Friday afternoon, ESPN's Jessica Mendoza chatted with Yardbarker about the Sooners' run to the title, Alo's record-breaking career and her own memories during her time playing in the World Series, as well as for Team USA. Mendoza also discussed the upcoming 50th anniversary of Title IX and her recent partnership with TIAA, a leading provider of secure retirements.

Mendoza, as well as Alo and other softball legends Jennie Finch, Sue Enquist and Carol Hutchins, are working with TIAA to raise awareness about gender inequity in sports. In March, a host of women's basketball icons talked with Yardbarker about their March Madness memories and the #RetireInequality movement.
