Box Score

WACO, Texas – Lexi Kilfoyl allowed only one unearned run in eight innings of work and Claire Timm blasted a two-run home run in the eighth inning to lift the Oklahoma State softball team to a 4-1 win over No. 19 Baylor in the conference opener for both teams at Getterman Stadium Friday.

The victory extended the Cowgirls' current winning streak to 13 games as OSU improved to 19-2 overall and 1-0 in the Big 12. Baylor fell to 13-4 overall and 0-1 in the league.

Kilfoyl extended her streak to 38 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run. The right-hander tallied six strikeouts against the Bears and yielded only two hits. She improved to 8-2 on the year and improved her season earned run average to 0.60.

After four scoreless innings for both teams an error from the Cowgirls in the fifth resulted in Baylor's only run of the night.

With one out in the seventh, OSU pinch runner Tia Warsop scored from second base in daring fashion on a routine fielder's choice to tie the game at one.

Timm's two-run blast in the eighth – her third of the season – staked the Cowgirls to a 3-1 lead and later in the inning, Rosie Davis ripped an RBI single to left to score Karli Godwin and put OSU ahead, 4-1.

Offensive standouts for the Cowgirls included Godwin (3-for-3 with a double and a run scored) and Tallen Edwards (3-for-4 with a run scored).

Game two of the three-game series is set for 2 p.m. CT tomorrow.
