Cowgirls split opening day of Michele Smith Pediatric Cancer Invitational

Oklahoma State has come close, but it has failed to beat top-tier teams in the early part of the season.

The Cowgirls went 1-1 Friday at the Michele Smith Pediatric Cancer Invitational in Clearwater, Florida.

In the first game, OSU lost 5-2 against No. 14 James Madison. The Cowgirls did not record a hit in the first three innings. Monday, coach Kenny Gajewski said James Madison has tough pitching, and the Dukes proved Gajewski right.

Brandi Needham started at pitcher for the Cowgirls, giving up three earned runs on seven hits in three innings of work.
