OSU softball staged a dramatic comeback on Sunday to avoid a run rule, scoring six runs in the third inning after trailing 9-1 entering the bottom half of the inning. But the Cowgirls’ comeback bid ultimately fell flat against the top-ranked Sooners, as OU won 11-8 to claim the best-of-three Bedlam series and the Big 12 regular season championship.
“Tough game. Disappointed. We just rolled over in that second [inning] and gave up all those unearned runs,” said OSU coach Kenny Gajewski. “It was the difference in this game.”
Cowgirl ace Carrie Eberle got the start in the circle for the Cowgirls and pitched five innings, striking out two Sooners in the loss and surrendering zero earned runs.
