NORMAN The Oklahoma Sooners powered their way into the Super Regional weekend in record fashion.
Slugging through the competition at the Norman Regional, OU found a new set of records they could finally rewrite postseason records.
In Friday’s Game 1 against Morgan State, senior
Nicole Mendes tied a program record with two home runs in the same regional game, and set a new program mark with seven RBIs in a postseason game. As a team, the Sooners broke the NCAA record for doubles in a postseason game, finishing the night with eight.
Three of those doubles came from freshman
Tiare Jennings, which was also an NCAA record for a regional game.
