The longest consecutive winning streak in women?s softball is 51 held by the United States national team, which dominated the Pan American Games five straight times from 1987 to 1999.
The Adamson University Lady Falcons, in crowning themselves UAAP champions from 2010 until 2014, won an uninterrupted 48-game skein.
In quest of a five peat this season, coach Ana Santiago and her Lady Falcons have so far emerged triumphant five times without a single loss for a total 53, surpassing the U.S.A Red, White and Blue Ladies unbeaten streak
Adamson?s last victim, its fifth this season and 53rd in four years, came at the expense of the University of the East -- a 10-0 shutout played in only five innings last Wednesday.
The Lady Falcons, as in their previous triumphs, worked behind the steady pitching of lefty Anallie Benjamin, who muzzled the Lady Warriors to measly three hits in a four-inning start, a feat complemented by her teammates who peppered a pair of U.S hurlers with 13.
Tomorrow, the San Marcelino St.-based clouters will try to extend their record-smashing feat at 54 when they battle second-running La Salle, eyeing their sixth straight and a sweep of the elimination round.
Should they succeed in this all-important 8 a.m. encounter with the Lady Archers, the Lady Falcons will earn the privilege of making it to the finals outright and wait for which team will surface in a unique semifinal round format involving teams nos. 2-3 and 4.
Pressure though will be on coach Santiago?s girls, whose immaculate 5-0 win-loss slate will be challenged by the Lady Archers, whose 4-1 card is second only to the Lady Falcons.
Except for a 2-5 upset of sort loss to the University of the Philippines, La Salle owns impressive in all of its games going into the final day of eliminations ? 7-3, over University of Santo Tomas, 3-1, over Ateneo, 8-1, over National University and 5-1 over University of the East.
Adamson though, despite losing six mainstays of 2014 four-peat champion, retained its murderous form, surviving its first five games in the seven-team cast all in abbreviated fashions.
Other matchups today will see U.E. facing UST in the hope of improving its 3-2 record, and N.U, and U.P. breaking their 2-3 stalemate and cementing their place in the top four.
