The Oklahoma Sooners are undeniable. No lead is too big. All it takes is one swing of the bat, and they can turn a game around.
That’s what Kinzie Hansen did in the seventh. With the Sooners down three runs but with two on base and two outs, Hansen was down to her final strike when she launched a three-run bomb over the left field wall to tie the game and send it to extra innings.
In the top of the ninth, Tiare Jennings hit a solo home run to give Oklahoma an 8-7 lead, and Jordy Bahl closed it with a shutdown performance to give the Sooners the win.
Oklahoma advances to the Women’s College World Series and, in the process, set a record for most consecutive wins in Division I softball at 48.
It was another incredible performance in a season filled with them. The win had Sooner Nation and the softball world buzzing. Here are some of the best reactions from Twitter.
