OSU Softball: Cowgirls Get Shutout, Suffer Loss To Tulsa

Tulsa's Maura Moore tamed OSU, en route to securing the mid-week victory over the Cowgirls.

Oklahoma State couldn't get anything going against Maura Moore and Tulsa on Tuesday.

The Golden Hurricane pitcher gave up only four hits in the contest as Tulsa took the 3-0 victory over OSU at Collins Family Softball Complex in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Tulsa moves to 19-8 on the year, while Oklahoma State falls to 24-4 on the season. 

Moore got the start against the Cowgirls, and she was terrific in her outing. She gave up zero runs on four hits, three walks and four strikeouts in a complete-game shutout against Oklahoma State.

OSU's offense was silent all night, going 4 for 24 against the Golden Hurricanes, including leaving six runners on base. 

The Cowgirl defense didn't help the cause as well, registering two errors, including a Tallen Edwards error in the sixth that allowed Tulsa to score two runs in the inning. 

Katie Kutz got the start against Tulsa, and she was dominant, giving up zero runs on one hit and one strikeout in three innings of work. 

Kyra Aycock came in the fourth, and she wasn't her usual self. She gave up three runs on four hits with three strikeouts in 2 1/3 innings pitched. 

Ivy Rosenberry came into relief Aycock, and she gave up zero runs with one strikeout in her 2/3 innings pitched against Tulsa. 

The Golden Hurricanes got the scoring started in the fourth as Claire Skaggs hit a RBI-double to the wall, scoring Imani Edwards and making it 1-0. 

OSU would try to get it back in the fifth as Micaela Wark hit a one-out single in the inning. Audrey Schneidmiller would draw a walk, setting up runners on first and second with one out. 

The Cowgirls couldn't come through as Megan Bloodworth would ground out, and Macy Graf would strikeout to end the inning. 

Tulsa would add two more in the sixth inning off of OSU miscues. Tallen Edwards couldn't field it cleanly at third, letting Imani Edwards and Haley Morgan score and increase the lead to 3-0. 

OSU couldn't muster up anything in the seventh, suffering the mid-week loss to Tulsa. 

Oklahoma State takes on BYU in a three-game series, which begins on Thursday at 6 p.m. at Miller Park in Provo, Utah. The contest will be streamed on ESPN+.
