Oklahoma claimed its 50th straight win in style.

Tiare Jennings and Kinzie Hansen homered, and No. 1 seed Oklahoma rolled past No. 4 Tennessee 9-0 in five innings on Saturday to advance to the Women’s College World Series semifinals.

The Sooners (58-1) inched closer to a possible third consecutive national title and extended their Division I record for consecutive victories.

Oklahoma coach Patty Gasso said the Sooners aren’t worried about the record.

“We don’t talk about it,” she said. “We don’t. We really don’t. Because what we want to do is bring a national championship back to the University of Oklahoma and the state of Oklahoma because that will never be taken away from us. You can never take that away. It will live forever.”

Oklahoma played like a team on a mission. Starter Jordy Bahl allowed one hit — a double to Kiki Milloy, the game’s first batter. Bahl went 3 2/3 innings, walked one and struck out three to earn the win. Relievers Alex Storako, Kierston Deal and Nicole May did not allow a hit.

“Extremely proud of this team and the way they played pretty flawless, attacking offensively, pitching staff — all of them, on point,” Gasso said.

Tennessee (50-9) will try to bounce back in an elimination game against No. 6 Oklahoma State today. The Lady Vols will try to forget about being completely dominated by the Sooners, save for a few spectacular plays by Milloy.

“Certainly not the way we wanted to play or expected to play today,” Tennessee coach Karen Weekly said. “I’m still very proud of my team and have a lot of confidence in my team. That wasn’t us out there.”

Tennessee chose not to throw Ashley Rogers, a National Fastpitch Coaches Association first-team All American. She and No. 2 pitcher Payton Gottshall watched as hard-throwing freshman Karlyn Pickens got the nod.

“We planned to throw different people at them,” Weekly said. “The people we put in there, I thought, had the pitches in their arsenal that would be most successful. We didn’t execute in a lot of those instances, but ultimately that decision is on me.”

The decision paid off early. Pickens escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first and didn’t allow a run.

She couldn’t escape in the second. Jennings drove a change-up over the left-field fence to put the Sooners up 3-0, and Pickens was replaced.

Hansen’s line drive went over the fence in the third for a two-run homer that put Oklahoma ahead 5-0.

“Once we got down three, we were fine,” Weekly said. “Once we got down five, then I think there was a little bit of, you know, just lack of energy. That’s hard to do. I mean, my gosh, these athletes, that’s the hardest thing in sports I think is to keep your energy, your intensity, your focus at the level you want it to be at when you get punched pretty hard.”

The Sooners would have had more, but Milloy caught one against the fence to rob Sophia Nugent of a homer in the fourth.

florida state 3, washington 1 >> Florida State is taking a different path this time. The Seminoles lost their Women’s College World Series opener in 2018, then won six straight to win the national title. They lost their opener again in 2021, then rallied to reach the championship series.

This time, they have won their first two games. Kathryn Sandercock was strong in relief, and No. 3 seed Florida State held on to beat No. 7 Washington and clinch a spot in the semifinals.

Sandercock allowed one run on six hits in 5 2/3 innings to claim the win, and now the Seminoles are in what coach Lonni Alameda jokingly called “uncharted territory.” It’s a good spot because Sandercock, a second-team National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-American, now has time to rest.

“It’s really important to keep her legs underneath her,” Alameda said. “We’re going to face really good teams, dogfights from here on out. We have to take care of the bodies as best we can. Earning days off is really big for us. We’ll see how it plays out.”

Devyn Flaherty had two hits and scored twice for the Seminoles (57-9), who will play the winner of today’s Tennessee-Oklahoma State game on Monday. Florida State remained unbeaten in the double-elimination bracket and will need to win once on Monday to advance to the best-of-three championship series. The Seminoles would have to lose twice to be eliminated.

Washington freshman Ruby Meylan lasted just 1 1/3 innings and took the loss. Lindsay Lopez gave up just one run in 4 2/3 innings of relief.

Washington (44-14) will play its Pac-12 rival, No. 9 Stanford (46-14), in an elimination game today. Washington took two of three at Stanford in May.

Sandercock stepped in for freshman Makenna Reid in the second inning. Sandercock gave up a single and hit a batter before escaping a bases-loaded jam without allowing a run.

Josie Muffley’s single in the second scored Flaherty, and Kaley Mudge’s sacrifice fly scored Mack Leonard to give Florida State a 2-0 lead.

Washington trimmed the deficit to 2-1 in the sixth and had a runner on third with two outs but couldn’t get her across.
