Over the years, Oklahoma has established itself as one of the elite college softball programs in the country.
The No. 1 Sooners—coached by the legendary Patty Gasso—showcased why they are no strangers to success in May as they used a strong burst in the fifth inning to take down No. 16 Clemson, 9–2, on Friday at Marita Hynes Field. However, that wasn’t the only accomplishment of the day for the program.
After winning Game 1 of the women’s Super Regional series, the Sooners (55–1) tied Arizona’s Division I record of 47 consecutive wins. If Oklahoma wins Game 2 on Saturday against the Tigers, Gasso’s squad will eclipse the Wildcats’ mark—set during the 1996–97 season—for the most consecutive wins in Division I softball history.
