3 takeaways from OSU's series win at BYU
Rosie DavisInto the leadoff
Freshman Ro\u0219ie Davis has been a surprising star for Oklahoma State's lineup this season. Coach Kenny Gajewski truster her with the starting second base job mostly for her defense, but her bat is coming alive for the Cowgirls.
In the second game of the series — the lone OSU loss of the weekend — Davis started as the team's leadoff hitter. Star third baseman Tallen Edwards had occupied that spot for the entirety of the season so far, but she started in the No. 2 hole.
Davis walked in her first plate appearance and hit a home run in her second. The Cowgirls lost 11-8 with a poor pitching performance, but Davis again earned a spot.
