Despite fighting for a late 2-1 lead in the top of the sixth inning, the Cougar softball team could not hold on against Tulsa, losing 3-2 on a walk-off single in the first round of the American Athletic Conference Tournament.
It was a pitcher’s duel for much of the game, with the two teams held scoreless until the bottom of the fifth inning. Tulsa got on the board with a second-pitch sacrificial flyout that brought in center fielder Haley Morgan.
The fifth-seeded Cougars did not take long to strike back, and quickly got two runners on with a walk and hit by pitch.
