STILLWATER – Lexi Kilfoyl’s fourth complete-game shutout and Caroline Wang’s team-leading 11th home run propelled No. 8 Oklahoma State to a 3-0 over No. 2 Texas Saturday in front of a record crowd at Cowgirl Stadium. The win moves the Cowgirls to 29-6 overall (9-3 in the Big 12). The Longhorns drop to 29-5 on the year (9-3 in the Big 12).
Wang’s three-run home run in the first gave the Cowgirls a 3-0 lead they would never relinquish.
Kilfoyl improved to 13-2 on the year by going seven innings and striking out four in her second complete-game shutout of the series. Estelle Czech took the loss for Texas going 2 1/3 innings and giving up three runs.
The attendance was 1,757, the largest crowd in Cowgirl Stadium history.
Oklahoma State has had some stellar success with Texas over the years. It will be interesting if Texas will continue to play Oklahoma State in non conference competition after they leave the Big 12. This series win does give the Cowgirls a tiebreaker over the Longhorns. Both Oklahoma State and Texas still have series remaining with Big 12 leader and top-ranked Oklahoma. Texas plays them next weekend in Austin. The Cowgirls get Oklahoma in Norman May 3-5.
The Cowgirls return to action when they take on North Texas at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Lovelace Stadium in Denton.
