OKLAHOMA CITY — For the first time this season OU dropped consecutive games as No. 1 Oklahoma (40-5) was clipped by No. 21 Oklahoma State (28-11), 6-4, in the latest Bedlam matchup Wednesday, April 15 at Devon Park.
OU scored a pair of runs in the sixth to cut into a three-run deficit, but OSU tallied at least one run in its final five trips to the plate to pull away with the win.
Oklahoma State 6, OU 4
Oklahoma State jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the second inning after a leadoff double from Lexi McDonald and a one-out gapper from Tia Warsop on the ninth pitch of the at-bat.
Kai Minor tripled to start the third and later scored on an 82-mile per hour line drive homer to right off
Kendall Wells' bat.
The Cowgirls punched back with a solo home run from Karli Godwin in the bottom of the third.
After a leadoff punchout for
Miali Guachino, OSU's Warsop roped her second double of the night and came around to score on an Audrey Schneidmiller RBI single. Jayelle Austin answered with another clutch knock, singling in one more for a 4-2 OSU lead.
Oklahoma State scored for the fourth consecutive inning, adding one more in the fifth. Rosie Davis lofted a fading fly ball down the right field line that
Ailana Agbayani made a running attempt for, but couldn't reel in. The next batter walked and Amanda Hasler reached on a fielder's choice bunt that resulted in all runners advancing safely. OSU's Tia Warsop plated Davis with an RBI groundout.
The Sooners worked some big two-out at-bats to cut the deficit to 5-4 in the sixth. Agbayani reached on a fielding error and moved up when
Allyssa Parker singled up the middle in her first at-bat of the game.
Abby Dayton delivered, doubling in both with a fly ball to left field.
OSU produced its third two-out run of the game, scoring an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth before Ruby Meylan completed the complete game with a one-two-three seventh.
