The OU softball team scored 4 runs in the top of the 7th, then sent the Cowgirls down in order in the bottom half, to win 4-2. That is the Sooners' 40th-straight win. Arizona has the longest win streak at 47 (a nice number for a streak). So the top 5 win streaks in NCAA softball history are:
1. Arizona - 47 (1996-97).
2. OU - 41 (2019) the longest single season streak.
3. OU - 40 (2021-22) 38-0 to open the season is the longest win streak to start a season without a loss.
3. OU - 40 (2020-21) had a 40-game win streak, includes seven games from the Covid-shortened 2020 season.
3. OU - 40 and counting (2023).
The 3rd Bedlam game is tomorrow. It could be the last OU-OSU game in Stillwater.
Interestingly, OSU softball is leaving its its old and obsolete Cowgirl Stadium to move to a modified/renovated Allie P. Reynolds Stadium, OSU's old baseball stadium, which, going to seed, still sits immediately to the south.
