Oklahoma softball is going to be a tough out, folks.
The Sooners barely broke a sweat in advancing to their 13th straight Super Regional Sunday afternoon, downing upset-minded Cal 16-3 in run-rule fashion. Oklahoma outscored opponents (Hofstra, Missouri and Cal) by an incredible margin of 38-3.
Quick reminder that Oklahoma has lost just once all season.

The Sooners left zero doubt from the jump, leaping to a quick 6-0 lead over the Golden Bears. They added 8 runs across the next 2 innings before Cal finally joined in on the scoring in the bottom of the 3rd.
Tiare Jennings was especially incredible, totaling 4 hits in 4 at-bats with 3 runs and 4 RBI.
Alex Storako got the start from the circle and faced a total of 14 batters, allowing 5 hits and 3 runs. Nicole May and Kiersten Deal brought the Sooners home with an inning pitched each.
Oklahoma will face Clemson in the Super Regional round.
