OU also earned its seventh consecutive Women’s College World Series berth in the process.

The 56-1 Sooners entered Saturday tied with the Arizona Wildcats atop the all-time win streak list. Arizona won 47 straight matchups from April 5, 1996 to March 23, 1997.

The Sooners stand alone now, although Clemson didn’t make it easy.

Oklahoma led off the game with back-to-back home runs via Jayda Coleman and Tiare Jennings.

Undeterred, Clemson posted a three-run, two-out rally in the bottom of the frame. A Caroline Jacobsen double and an Alia Logoleo walk led to a Maddie Moore three-run shot on a 1-2 count to cut the lead to 4-3.

Clemson kept pouring it on the fifth and took the lead courtesy of a McKenzie Clark two-run homer.

The Tigers’ relentless pressure continued with a hit-by-pitch, a single and a pair of walks for a 6-4 edge. Another RBI led to a 7-4 lead, and Clemson found itself in the driver’s seat.

Neither team scored in the sixth, but Oklahoma tied it up in the seventh.

The Sooners had a runner on first with two outs when Haley Lee singled to right on a 1-2 count. Kinzie Hansen then strolled up to the plate and found herself down 0-2, but she then deposited the next pitch over the wall for a dramatic homer that led to a seven-all tie.

The offenses then went quiet for an inning-and-a-half with nine straight batters getting out. Jennings put an end to the silence, however, by crushing the first pitch she saw in the ninth for a game-winning solo homer.

Clark hit a two-out single in the bottom of the ninth for Clemson, but a flyout to center ended the game.

OU now advances to Oklahoma City for the Women’s College World Series once again as it is seeks its sixth national title since 2013.
