Cowgirls upset No. 9 Alabama
Oklahoma State's Carrie Eberle pitched a three-hitter and Sydney Pennington homered as the No. 16 Cowgirls knocked off No. 9 Alabama, 4-1, Saturday in the St. Pete/Clearwater Elite Invitational in Clearwater, Florida.
Eberle fanned three in tossing a complete game as the Cowgirls turned a crucial double play in the sixth with the bases loaded.
OSU junior Michaela Richbourg drove in the game’s first run in the third on an infield single. The Cowgirls tacked on another in the fourth when senior Alysen Febrey delivered a run-scoring groundout.
Alabama trimmed the lead to one in the sixth but the Cowgirls added two insurance runs in seventh on a solo home run by Pennington and a wild pitch that plated freshman Maci Cunconan.
