STILLWATER — Rachel Becker had never played in the NCAA Tournament before this season, and Sunday she sent her team to the Super Regional.
Oklahoma State beat Nebraska 5-2 on Sunday to win the Stillwater Regional. The Cowgirls were down 2-1 in the top of the seventh when Becker stepped to the plate with the bases loaded. As a grad student getting her first taste of the NCAA Tournament after transferring from Purdue, Becker wasted no time, sending the first pitch she saw back up the middle to score a pair of runs.
“That’s just something I feel like I’ve been waiting for my whole career is to have such a big game on the line with a pressure situation,” Becker said.
