Cowgirls twirl 10-inning no-hitter, roll past USAO in fall opener

September 23, 2026 | Cowgirl Softball

STILLWATER — Six Oklahoma State pitchers combined for a 10-inning no-hitter in Cowgirl Softball's 6-0 win over the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma in a fall scrimmage at Cowgirl Stadium Wednesday evening.

The two coaching staffs agreed in advance to a modified scoring system for the scrimmage. Had the scoring been done traditionally, the final score would have been 18-2 in favor of OSU.

Delainey Everett, Kennedy Allen, Makala Smith, Payton Kennedy, Peyton May and Kendra Lewis combined for eight strikeouts and only three walks in the no-hitter. Everett started and pitched one inning. From there, Allen pitched one, then Smith, Kennedy, May and Lewis pitched two innings apiece, with Smith credited with the win.

Freshmen Aliyah Garcia and Reese Poage both hit home runs for OSU, with Garcia tagging a two-run shot in the sixth inning and Poage adding a two-run blast of her own in the ninth.

Montgomery Henderson (2-for-3) was the only Cowgirl with a multi-hit performance, but was one of 11 OSU players to record a hit.

Neither team scored in the first three innings, but OSU broke the tie with three runs in the fourth, one in the fifth, three in the sixth and three in the seventh to open up a 10-0 lead. A five-run ninth and three more in the 10th capped the night's scoring.

The Cowgirls return to action when they host Seminole State at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Cowgirl Stadium. Admission is free, and fans are welcome to attend.
