Oklahoma set an NCAA record with its 48-straight win on Saturday, a thrilling 8-7 decision over Clemson to win the Norman Super Regional.
The two-time defending national champions were down to their final strike twice after the Tigers had rallied to take a 7-4 lead into the final inning.
Rylie Boone singled to open the seventh and with two outs Haley Lee singled to right on a 1-2 count. Hansen then belted an 0-2 pitch over the wall in left. Jennings took the first pitch in the ninth to deep center to send the six-time defending national champion Sooners to their seventh-straight Women’s College World Series and push them past Arizona’s winning streak set over two seasons in 1996-97.
“The way these guys respond,” coach Patt Gasso said, pausing as she choked up. “They’re great. I think everybody expects that we should always win. The amount of pressure is pretty insurmountable, and they keep standing up to it. … It’s just new heroes all the time and it’s just so fun to be a part of them.”@OU_Softball/Twitter
