To cap off the Houston Invitational, the Cowgirls defeated Kentucky 8-7 on a walk-off blast from junior transfer Sydney Springfield.
The No. 13 Wildcats came out strong, boasting a 6-2 lead heading into the bottom of the sixth inning. OSU’s bats started to heat up, but the Cowgirls still faced a four-run deficit in the seventh.
A two-run shot from senior Rylee Bayless cut Kentucky’s lead to one, then Springfield delivered another two-run blast to seal the comeback and close out the Invitational.
