No. 3 Softball Wins Extra-Inning Duel at No. 20 LSU, 3-2

March 27, 2026 | Softball

BATON ROUGE, La.  — Down 1-0 heading into the top of the seventh inning, Ailana Agbayani used her bat and eventually her legs to help ignite a two-run frame before the Sooners eventually won it in the eighth as the Sooners (33-2, 7-0 SEC) were victorious, 3-2, in the series opener at No. 20/20 LSU Friday, March 27.

OU 3, LSU 2
LSU scored first thanks to a solo home run off the bat of leadoff hitter Jaila Lassiter in the bottom of the third inning. 

OU would get the leadoff batter on base in the fifth, sixth and seventh but wouldn't push one across until a wild top of the seventh when OU took a 2-1 lead. 

Ailana Agbayani led off the inning with a single sliced inside the third base bag. Pinch hitter Lexi McDaniel flew to deep right field that Agbayani tagged up on and advanced safely to second base thanks to an acrobatic slide into second. Abby Dayton roped her third hit of the night and Agbayani moved up to third base, putting runners at the corners with one out. 

The clutch baserunning continued as Kasidi Pickering, Agabyani and Dayton all evaded pursuing LSU fielders on what was a fielder's choice grounder to shortstop. One batter later Kendall Wells flared a two-RBI single to right, giving OU the lead. 

LSU was within a strike of being retired in the seventh inning after a frame of matchups in the circle and at the dish. With one out and a runner at first, LSU's Tori Edwards walked and Alix Franklin singled in the tying run with a base hit through the left side. 

OU replied in the eighth, taking a 3-2 lead. Gabbie Garcia doubled to left center and eventually came around to score on a sac fly from Dayton. 

The Tigers had one runner reach in the eighth inning, but Miali Guachino got out of the frame for her ninth win.
