OSU Softball Posts Third-Consecutive Shutout With 6-0 Win Over Minnesota
March 18, 2023 | Cowgirl Softball
STILLWATER – The Oklahoma State softball team posted its third shutout of the weekend with a 6-0 victory over Minnesota at Cowgirl Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
With the win, OSU improved to 24-2, while Minnesota fell to 19-4.
For the seventh time this season, senior righty Lexi Kilfoyl was the starter for Oklahoma State. In her complete game performance, she struck out nine Golden Gophers' batters.
The Cowgirls were first to score, bringing across a single run in the bottom of the second courtesy of a Chyenne Factor RBI base hit that scored Katelynn Carwile.
The Cowgirls have now scored first in 19 of their 26 games this season; in those games, OSU is 18-1.
Oklahoma State's offense busted the game wide open with a five-run fifth inning, headlined by a pinch-hit RBI base knock from Katie Lott and a three-run home run from Micaela Wark.
The scoring outburst gave the Cowgirls a 6-0 lead they would not relinquish.
The Cowgirls' shutout victory over the Golden Gophers marks their third in a row, a feat they last accomplished when they recorded four consecutive shutout wins in 2021.
The OSU Mizuno Classic finale takes place tomorrow as Oklahoma State takes on UCF; first pitch is set for 12 p.m. CT.
