While freshman Hayleigh Galvan talked with reporters, junior star Vanessa Shippy interrupted to give her a hug.
“I love you so much,” Shippy told her.
For the first time in program history, the Oklahoma State softball team swept Texas with a 10-9, eight-inning victory. The Cowgirls needed five runs in the bottom of the seventh to tie it, and Galvan delivered a 2-out, 2-run seed over the left-field wall that scored runs No. 4 and 5 in the inning. She has the team’s second-lowest batting average at .217.
Galvan was the pinch-hitting savior, but Shippy was the winner.
