STILLWATER — Like a lot of Cowgirls, Kelly Maxwell uncharacteristically struggled to end the regular season, but she was nearly perfect Friday night to send her program to a fourth straight Women’s College World Series.
Oklahoma State beat Oregon 9-0 on Friday night in Cowgirl Stadium to sweep the Super Regional. Maxwell pitched 6.1 perfect innings before allowing a pair of hits in the seventh. It would have been the first perfect game a Cowgirl has thrown in NCAA Tournament history. Regardless, it was a dominant outing from one of the most dominant pitchers in college softball.
