Baylor softball may have won its first Big 12 Tournament championship if not for Oklahoma senior outfielder Nicole Pendley.
Pendley hit a two-run double in the first, a three-run home run in the third and was responsible for driving in five of Oklahoma’s six runs, as the Sooners knocked off the Lady Bears 6-4 to win the 2018 Phillips 66 Big 12 Tournament.
Oklahoma needed the offensive help from Pendley Sunday afternoon as Baylor was able to get to senior Paige Lowary, who entered the contest having only allowed eight earned runs in 70 innings this season, but was tagged by the Lady Bears for four.
