Cowgirls Sweep Day One of Big 12 Championship, Advance to Championship Game
May 14, 2021 | Cowgirl Softball
Oklahoma City, Okla. — The Oklahoma State softball team improved to 42-8 on the season with 4-3 and 6-5 victories against Texas and Iowa State. With the two wins, the Cowgirls advance to the Big 12 Softball Championship game.
Kelly Maxwell got the start in the circle for the Cowgirls in game one of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Softball Championship. Maxwell pitched 6.1 innings and gave up one earned run, while striking out four Longhorns.
Carrie Eberle came on in relief and pitched 2.2 shutout innings, earning her 20th victory of the season. The 2021 Big 12 Pitcher of the Year gave up just one hit and struck out three in the 3-2 victory.
Offensively, the Cowgirls were led by Karli Petty (3-for-4, run scored), Chelsea Alexander (2-for-3, run scored), and Alysen Febrey (2-for-4).
Texas jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first three innings, before Kiley Naomi (1-for-3, 2 RBI, run scored) launched a two-run homer over the left field wall to tie the game.
The game remained knotted at two until the bottom of the ninth inning when Petty scored the winning run after a dropped third strike on Chelsea Alexander and an error on the Texas throw to first base.
In game two, Carrie Eberle got the start in the circle against the Iowa State Cyclones. Eberle pitched six innings and struck out eight in route to her 21st win of the season.
After Logan Simunek came on in relief, Kelly Maxwell pitched the final out of the game and earned her fourth save of the season.
Oklahoma State's offense was led by Sydney Pennington (3-for-4, RBI, HR) who launched her 34th career home run, just one shy of tying the OSU career record.
Febrey (2-for-4, 2 RBI, HR) and Hayley Busby (1-for-4, RBI, HR) launched home runs in a five-run seventh inning that was sparked by a two-run Chyenne Factor triple.
The Cowgirls will play for the Phillips 66 Big 12 Softball Championship tomorrow at 3 p.m. CT on ESPN2. The Cowgirls opponent is to be determined.
