No. 21 Oklahoma State stunned No. 1 Oklahoma 6-4 in Wednesday night's Bedlam Classic. The Cowgirls scored in five consecutive innings to hand OU softball its first back-to-back losses of the NCAA softball season.
Ruby Meylan dominated for Oklahoma State, pitching a complete game, striking out nine batters, and improving her record to 18-6 on the year. The performance marked her 11th consecutive decision.
The Cowgirls jumped ahead early and never trailed, subsequently scoring at least one run in every inning after the first. The team combined for 10 hits with Rosie Davis, Lexi McDonald, and Tia Warsop recording two apiece while Karli Godwin added a solo home run in the third.
OU softball fought back with a pair of runs in both the third and sixth innings, as slugger Kendall Wells smashed a two-run homer in the third for her 32nd this season — claiming the fifth-most single-season home runs in NCAA DI history. Abby Dayton later doubled in two more runs in the sixth to cut the deficit to 5-4.
However, Oklahoma State answered with an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth before Meylan closed out the seventh with a perfect inning.
OU ace Miali Guachino took the loss for Oklahoma, falling to 12-1 after allowing four earned runs for her first loss of the season.
The upset marked Oklahoma State's eighth win over a No. 1 ranked team in program history. The Cowgirls last beat a top NCAA softball team in 2022, when they defeated OU in the Big 12 championship game.
Oklahoma softball was outhit 10-7 in the loss, as the Sooners move to 0-4 on the season when being outhit.
