STILLWATER, Okla. - Oklahoma State's softball team improved to 6-0 on Tuesday, scoring a season-high 15 runs in the win over Eastern Oklahoma State.
Eastern Oklahoma scored a run on a solo shot in the top of the first, but after that it was all Oklahoma State.
The Cowgirls took the lead in the bottom of the frame, opening with a string of five base hits. Rainey Garcia and Megan Carey both reached on singles before Ryan Realmuto blasted a double into deep left to bring in both runners.
The Cowgirls also added a pair of runs in the second off three hits. Calli Behmer led off the inning with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice hit by Lindsay Mitchell. Behmer then came home on a double from Afton Burris, and Burris later crossed the plate on a base hit by Garcia.
Behmer also had a hand in the next big inning, taking the first pitch in the bottom of the sixth long over the left field fence. Megan Carey completed the inning with a double, bringing in Burris and Jade Lindly to give the Cowgirls a commanding 8-1 lead.
Stephanie Nicholson joined the home run party in the ninth, also sending shot to left.
The Cowgirl offense continued to thrive and three errors, one hit and one walk later, Lauren Bay, Lindly and Siebel crossed the plate to give OSU a 12-run cushion.
The Cowgirls added a single run in the 10th and 11th innings to account for the final score.
Five Cowgirl pitchers took the mound against the Lady Mountaineers for a combined 18 strikeouts, while giving up four hits and one run.
Oklahoma State returns to action on Thursday, hosting Butler Junior College at 3 p.m.
