Top-seeded Oklahoma softball sailed two balls out of the park in a five-run fifth inning, breaking up a close game and sending the Sooners to a 9-2 win over No. 16 Clemson in the opening game of Norman Super Regional on Friday.
The win was the Sooners’ 47 consecutive victory, which ties the NCAA Division I softball record set by Arizona in 1996-97.
As they have so often this season, Oklahoma (55-1) jumped out in front early, taking a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Jayda Coleman, who led off the game with a double, scored from third on a sacrifice fly by Haley Lee.
