Game Flow: All-American Carrie Eberle held Georgia scoreless through five and Chyenne Factor delivered a two-run home run in the bottom of the third to lift fifth-seeded Oklahoma State to a 3-2 win over the Bulldogs. Perhaps the biggest defensive play of the game came in the fifth inning, when OSU All-American Hayley Busby threw Sydney Chambley out at the plate from right field to preserve the shutout. Georgia scratched a run back in the sixth to bring the score to 2-1, but OSU All-American (and former Bulldog) Alysen Febrey singled home Kiley Naomi in the bottom of the sixth to provide an insurance run that became essential after Georgia scored in the top of the seventh.
