Lincoln, Neb. - Nebraska's Peaches James struck out 12 Cowgirl batters, and the Huskers defeated Oklahoma State, 8-2, here Saturday afternoon in Big 12 softball action. The win improves NU's record to 36-10 overall and 8-1 in the Big 12.
Oklahoma State's only offensive highlight was Ryan Realmuto's solo home run, her fourth of the season. Jenny Kipp drove in Nicci Quiroz with a base hit for OSU's only other run. Kipp went 2-for-3 in the contest.
