NORMAN, Okla. WKU pitcher Haylee Towers carried a one-hitter against No. 9 Oklahoma into the fifth inning of today’s tilt before the host Sooners tallied both of their runs in the bottom of the frame. A Tommi Stowers home run in the top of the seventh would get the Hilltoppers on the board at the OU Softball Complex, but concluded the day’s scoring.

WKU is just the third team to limit the reigning national champions to two runs or fewer in a loss and sixth team to achieve the feat in 2017.
