STILLWATER — The Big 12 softball champions will be crowned on Mother’s Day.
Oklahoma beat Oklahoma State 6-4 on Saturday in Cowgirl Stadium, setting up a championship-determining rubber match on Sunday.
The No. 9 Cowgirls threatened a walk-off comeback in the seventh inning. Karli Petty started the frame with a solo home run to center, cutting OU’s lead to 6-3.
Chelsea Alexander was then hit with a pitch before back-to-back walks. With the bases loaded and no outs, Alysen Febrey hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Alexander. Hayley Busby flew out to center for the second out before Sydney Pennington struck out to end the game.
