TOBI NEIDYSports Reporter
Softball coach Patty Gasso admits her job right now is pretty easy.
The coach, in her 18th season as the Sooners’ skip-per, is getting ready to take her seventh team to the Women’s College World Series on Thursday, when they will face the daunting task of beating out seven other programs to earn the 2012 national title, but she said she’s giving up most of her current coaching duties to players in the crimson and cream uniforms.
“It’s a good feeling as a coach to watch them set themselves up,” Gasso said. “You don’t have to say much, and I just make

Even if outside factors seem to be slowing down your progress somewhat in the year ahead, know that if you change paths it might make a difference. If that’s the case, chances are it’ll make you feel more satisfi ed.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Attend to all your responsibilities fi rst thing -- that way the boss might not mind too much if you take a longer break in the afternoon or even leave a bit early for an appointment.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Avoid an inclination to make a mountain out of any minor mishap that might occur today. It’s only when we blow things totally out of proportion that they become a real problem.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When there is something of material wealth at stake that you hope to acquire, you’re likely to fi nd the way to do so by making and following a detailed plan.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Even if you believe a certain objective is easily attainable, don’t assume it’s a foregone conclusion. There may be a surprise or two, so you should keep your ideas fl exible.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It’s kind to give to those in need, but remember, charity should fi rst begin at home, or at least within your intimate circle of good friends. Help those you personally know before aiding strangers.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Accept others for who they are and not for
what you hope to get out of them. If you want support for something important, deal with people realistically and sincerely.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If you want to have harmonious relationships with your colleagues, don’t attempt to take all the credit for things that others helped play a role in bringing about. Share the limelight.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Although your plans might be feasible, unless you delegate their implementation to skilled and reliable parties, success could be in question.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --It’s much smarter to check things out for yourself rather than believe what another says, when you have to know the absolute facts. Don’t take any chances.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --Teaming up with another for a common cause might hold a special appeal to you. However, if it proves to be taking you nowhere, don’t hesitate to split up and go it alone.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It’s generally a mistake to allow petty politics to become an issue among friends. As a result, you or the person you are endorsing could turn out to be very unpopular.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your fi nancial indicator could run from high to low and back again. Try to keep a cool head and you’ll end up on the right side of the ledger.

sure that certain things are in order. I just try not to screw anything up.”
Gasso said this Sooner team is easy to coach because regardless of age or classification, every player has bought into what she has taught them about playing as a complete team.
That cohesiveness is be-ginning to pay dividends for the peaking Sooners, who have one of the best records in softball at 50-8.
“They’re all on the same page, and it’s so comfortable to be around,” Gasso said. “There’s something to be said about a team that likes to be around each other. There isn’t any jealousy because
they all understand their roles, and they take those roles very seriously.”
Against Arizona in super-regional action last weekend, that role-recognition became important when Gasso opted to tweak her lineup by mov-ing freshman Georgia Casey into the leadoff position.
The move affected sopho-more Destinee Martinez, the primary face at the begin-ning of the Sooner offense this season.
“I like Destinee behind Casey because it creates havoc on opposing defenses when you have runners in motion,” Gasso said about her first two batters being able to get the OU offense started. “I just really like that dynamic.”
The move also pushed starting catcher Jessica Shults
from clean-up to the five hole in the Sooner lineup.
However, the junior All-American wasn’t phased by the move and found a way to get on base, going 3-for-5 with three hits, two RBIs and two walks during the two out-ings against Arizona in the super regional last weekend.
And that type of perfor-mance is what Gasso said she expects from all of her players regardless of their position in the batting lineup.
“We want to come out and attack right away but at the same time be patient because
walks are just as damaging,” Gasso said. “Just find a way on and then get yourself in scoring position.”
Gasso used more than 30 different lineups this season but admitted she liked the current batting order going into the Women’s College World Series.
And until opposing pitch-ers find a way to shut down a lineup that is hitting .321 as a team, Gasso said she plans to let her players continue to hold the reigns going into the final round of the NCAA tournament.
“I give it all up to them,” Gasso said. “I just make sure that certain things are in order, but I’m just the orches-trator and they’re the instru-ments that play the music.
“And they’re playing won-derful music right now.”
