The Oklahoma Sooners defeated Clemson in an 8-7 thriller Saturday, notching their 48th straight win to set an NCAA record for consecutive victories. The record previously belonged to Arizona, which won 47 straight between 1996 and 1997.
Oklahoma’s last loss was a 4-3 road defeat against Baylor on Feb. 19. Overall, the team now holds a 56-1 record on the season.
Saturday’s win also gave Oklahoma a 2-0 win in the Norman Super Regional, sending the program to its 16th Women’s College World Series. The Sooners are pursuing a third straight national title, a fifth in eight years and their seventh overall.
