Cowgirls Drop Season Opener Against No. 11 LSU
February 07, 2020 | Cowgirl Softball
STILLWATER – The No. 13 Oklahoma State softball team was shutout by No. 11 LSU, 1-0, in the 2020 season opener.
Scoring was sparse as both team's starting pitching stifled each other's offenses. Both teams could only muster four hits each as the Cowgirls fell to the Tigers in a low-scoring showdown.
"It was a well-played game between two really good and ranked softball teams," Head Coach Kenny Gajewski said.
Carrie Eberle, a senior transfer, was steady in the circle for the Cowgirls as the former ACC Pitcher of the Year struck out three and allowed just one run through six innings. Despite surrendering four walks in the game, Eberle and the defense behind her kept the Tigers off the board until the sixth inning.
"It was good to get the first start under my belt," Eberle said. "I settled in after the first couple of innings. I think I can get ahead in the count more. I feel like I put myself in more trouble than it was necessary."
LSU's Georgia Clark drove in the only run of the game in the bottom of the sixth with a single just beyond the reach of OSU shortstop Kiley Naomi.
The Cowgirls had a couple of chances to put runs on the board but were ultimately denied by the Tigers. Junior Raquel Dominguez hit into an unfortunate unassisted double play to first with the bases loaded in the second. With just three outs left in the seventh, Michaela Richbourg and Chyenne Factor led off the inning with two straight singles but OSU couldn't cash in; as both runners were stranded when Dominguez popped up to end the game.
"We just couldn't get the big hit when it counted," Gajewski said. "Had a couple of opportunities, but just couldn't punch through. I thought we did some really good things and some things we can go back and coach on."
Up next, the Cowgirls continue tournament play tomorrow; taking on Florida A&M at 11 a.m. and a rematch against LSU at 4 p.m.
