Cowgirl Softball Defeats Baylor, 8-0
May 02, 2003 | Cowgirl Softball
Carey got the Cowgirls off to a quick start, going yard for the seventh time this season in the bottom of the first. Calli Behmer doubled then rounded the bases on Carey’s two-run bomb to left center.
Oklahoma State exploded for four runs in the fifth on four hits and one Baylor error.
Back-to-back doubles from Jade Lindly and Stephanie Nicholson pushed the first run home. Calli Behmer then drew the walk and Ashleigh Tweed entered as a courtesy runner. Tweed and Nicholson stole second and third to set up Ryan Realmuto’s RBI single.
Baylor then intentionally walked Bay and an error allowed Siebel to reach first and Realmuto to score. Stephanie Hodges plated the final run with a single to center field to bring Bay home.
Carey then ended the game just as she started, producing a two-run walk off home run just inside foul territory down the left field line.
The homer gave the Cowgirls the mercy-rule win, their first ever in the Big 12 Tournament and their largest margin of victory in the tournament’s eight year history.
Lauren Bay picked up the win for OSU, improving to 23-7 on the year. The lefty fanned eight, walked one and scattered three hits in the shutout.
Katie Decker took the loss for Baylor, falling to 8-7. She struck out four and gave up eight runs on 11 hits.
Oklahoma State improves to 36-11 on the year and will face the winner of the Nebraska-Missouri contest at 8 p.m. on Friday. Baylor falls to 30-28 after the loss and plays the loser of the NU-MU contest at 3 p.m. on Friday.
