In game two, the Cowgirls scored in every frame of the five-inning run rule victory.
Kelly Maxwell recorded the win, improving to 9-0. She struck out 10 and allowed two runs on two hits.
An RBI double from Julia Cottrill and an RBI single from Sydney Pennington paved the way in the first inning. OSU rounded out the first scoring on a Kiley Naomi sacrifice fly and a Wichita State error.
In the second inning, Chyenne Factor hit her eighth home run of the season, a solo shot to give the Cowgirls its fifth run. Julia Cottrill singled in a run, giving her nine RBI on the weekend.
