OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma saved its best celebration for last.

Jordy Bahl threw three innings of perfect relief and the Sooners won their third straight Women’s College World Series title and seventh overall, beating Florida State 3-1 on Thursday night for a two-game sweep.

The Sooners finished 61-1 and extended their Division I-record win streak to 53 games. They have won six titles since 2013 after getting their first in 2000, all under coach Patty Gasso.

The Sooners, exuberant and energetic throughout this World Series, stayed true to form. After Bahl struck out Katie Dack swinging to end the game, catcher Kinzie Hansen ran to Bahl and wrapped her in a bear hug as the rest of the Sooners swarmed them and created a massive dogpile that teetered to the ground.

Finishing this title run was no easy task against a Florida State program making its third finals appearance in the past five World Series.

“The message off the bat was eyes are on our circle,” said Oklahoma’s Grace Lyons, who hit a solo homer. “We’re going to keep focusing on what we do every single day. Doesn’t matter what the outside has to say. We’re going to do the little things. We’re going to keep grinding.”

The only debate now is where the Sooners stand in Division I history.

Oklahoma’s only defeat was a 4-3 loss at Baylor on Feb. 19. The Sooners set a record for win percentage and had the fewest losses of any champion. They led the nation in runs per game, earned run average and batting average — even after losing Division I career home run leader Jocelyn Alo from last year’s team.
