“the Bruins softball team had smashed an NCAA-record 200 homers on the way to clinching its third consecutive Women’s College World Series berth”
DISPUTED
The claim states the team smashed a record of 200 homers. However, the evidence from web search results explicitly states the team set a new Division I single-season home run record at '177 so far this season'. This directly contradicts the 200 figure.
