Box Score

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – A two hit, three RBI performance from freshman Tallen Edwards wasn't enough as the No. 3 Oklahoma State softball team dropped its first game of the season to Maryland, 11-6, at the Puerto Vallarta College Challenge on Sunday morning.

With the loss, OSU fell to 2-1 and Maryland rose to 3-1.

Oklahoma State grabbed a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning following senior Kiley Naomi's RBI single that scored Edwards.

Virginia Tech transfer Ivy Rosenberry got the nod in the circle, her first appearance as a Cowgirl. She went 2.1 innings, striking out two but giving up three earned runs. Sophomore Bailie Runner made her first collegiate appearance in the third inning, pitching 2.2 innings with one strikeout and two earned runs.

After the Terrapins tied the game at one apiece in the top of the second inning, Edwards put OSU back on top with an RBI single that brought home Megan Bloodworth. Maryland took the lead in the third inning, capitalizing on a bases-loaded situation with their first home run of the season, a grand slam that put them up, 6-2.

A two-RBI single from Edwards in the fourth inning brought home Rachel Becker and Bloodworth to bring OSU within two, 6-4. Following a three-run inning from Maryland in the fifth, OSU responded with a home run of its own from Morgyn Wynne to trim the deficit to 9-6. The Terrapins knocked in two more runs in the sixth inning, to extend their advantage to 11-6 and put the game out of reach.

Making their OSU debuts in the game were Oklahoma transfer Alexx Waitman, who redshirted last season and catcher Audrey Schneidmiller, who made her first collegiate start this morning.

The Cowgirls will be back in action later today against RV/RV Ole Miss with first pitch set for 4 p.m. CT. The game will be streamed on FloSoftball and can be heard locally on 105.5 KGFY and worldwide on the Varsity Network app with Brodie Myers on the call.
