Hard to Believe Iowa State Upset over No. 3 Oklahoma State in Softball

STILLWATER – Iowa State's 11th-inning RBI single proved to be the difference as the No. 3/3 Oklahoma State Softball team fell to Iowa State in 11 innings, 3-2, Sunday afternoon at Cowgirl Stadium. With the loss, OSU fell to 39-4 and 8-1 in Big 12 play, while Iowa State moved to 14-25 and 2-10 against conference opposition. 

For the first time this series, and for the 25th time this season, the Cowgirls got on the board in the first inning.

A leadoff double from Rachel Becker opened the inning and extended her on-base streak to 43 games. After stealing third, Becker scored on a Kiley Naomi RBI single to give OSU the lead, 1-0.

With her hit today, Becker extended her current hit streak to 19 games, passing her mark of 18 games, previously set earlier in the season. She owns the second- and third-longest hitting streaks in program history, behind Taylor Lynch with a hit in 23 straight games in 2016.

Iowa State immediately responded with two runs of their own to claim the lead, 2-1.

The Cowgirls tied the game in the bottom of the fourth with an RBI single from Morgyn Wynne that scored Kiley Naomi to knot the game at two apiece.
