RH: "Put A Good Swing On A Good Pitch"
RH: Barnard TulsaAddison Barnard did the post-game interview on ESPN-plus and then took her curtain call after another special seven innings.
The crowd chanted "MVP, MVP." Barnard ran to join her teammates in right field, then the people in the outfield decks demanded her presence. She joined them for high fives, running from right field to left to celebrate with fans, parents, and former Shockers.
It was, again, that kind of Addie B game in the American Athletic Conference Championship at Wilkins Stadium. WSU's career home run leader – now at 92 – is on a hot streak that ranks with any in her career.
"She's on fire," coach Kristi Bredbenner said. "Absolutely crushing the ball."
