OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma claimed its 50th straight win in style.
Tiare Jennings and Kinzie Hansen homered, and No. 1 seed Oklahoma rolled past No. 4 Tennessee 9-0 in five innings on Saturday to advance to the Women’s College World Series semifinals.
The Sooners (58-1) inched closer to a possible third consecutive national title and extended their Division I record for consecutive victories. The team set the record for most consecutive wins after winning No. 48 in the Super Regionals. But Oklahoma coach Patty Gasso said after Saturday’s game that the team still has its eyes on the bigger prize.
“We don’t talk about it,” she said of the win streak. “We don’t. We really don’t. Because what we want to do is bring a national championship back to the University of Oklahoma and the state of Oklahoma because that will never be taken away from us. You can never take that away. It will live forever.
“… Records are being broken all the time. It’s an honor. I had a conversation with [legendary former Arizona softball coach] Mike Candrea, which was really wonderful. We connected throughout the season. He’s just very congratulatory. That is great. But it’s just moving on. It’s taking things home that no one can take away. That’s what we’re about.”
