FINAL: Oklahoma State 2, Florida 0

What happened: 4th grade Kelly Maxwell With only three hits for the Gators and at some point recording four innings without allowing UF-based runners, a seven-seeded cowgirl at the NCAA Women’s College World Series at the USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City. I won the winner’s bracket match on Saturday night. .. The first team from Friendswood, Texas, All-American Maxwell was even better than two nights ago with his first round victory in Arizona. She did 7 innings completely, put only 3 UF runners in the scoring position, hit 9 and walked 2.She was certainly a night story, but the OSU catcher Julia Cot LilShe returned to Stillwater from the University of Florida last summer and made something pretty good. To the team in front of her, Cottrill went 3 to 3 on the plate and explained both runs of her team. She scored a lead-off single for the third time, scoring in the first match of the Cowgirls, and adding an RBI single for the fourth to lead OSU 2-0.Her first hit in Cottrill came against a starter at the University of Florida Lexie Delbrey After that, two bunt singles from Uchino put OSU on the board. The Cowgirls led 1-0 and then put a cleanup batter on the base with one out. Miranda Elish Gator’s coach Tim Walton Pulled Delbray in support of a bright red relief Natalie Lugo, Double play Elish and proceeded to keep Cowgirl’s damage in a single run. Cottril achieved 2-0 innings with a two-out RBI single representing the only run (6 appearances, 17.1 innings) that Lugo abandoned during the NCAA tournament. Florida managed three threats during the game, but Maxwell sniffed each one.University of Florida started the game with a bunt single from Kendra Falby Pass by Hannah AdamsBut the following three Gator’s (Skyler Wallace, Chara Ecoles, Reagan Walsh) Arranged in order. There were 1st and 2nd runners in Florida, one in 6th, but Maxwell jumped out of Wallace and Ecoles went out to the ground.Last chance UF Seventh, pinch hitter Sara Longley I stroked a one-out single on a pinch runner Cheyenne Lindsey (In the case of Longley) Raised to 2nd place due to wild pitch.Maxwell, however, got Katie Kistler I ended the game when I hit a pinch hitter Brin Thomas It appeared in the foul territory down the field line on the right.

Gameplay: Cottril’s two-out RBI single doubled his fourth 1-0 lead. With the method Maxwell dealt with, it would be difficult for the Gators to respond in a few runs.

In the spotlight: Maxwell was the best player at OKC this week without wearing an Oklahoma Sooner uniform. She hit 14 Arizona batters and walked only twice with a 4-2 victory on Thursday night, so in two games here she recorded 14 innings (two complete games). I could only run 2 times, hit 8 times, hit 23 times, and walk 4 times. .. Her season figures now show 22-4 records, 1.11 ERA, 302 strikeouts and only 62 walks.

Statistical stagnation: The Gators hit .405 to enter the game, and the score of 7.7 was shut out to run the NCAA tournament game, which was shut out to 3 hits and 15 consecutive hitters from 1 to 5 innings. That was a terrible feat by Maxwell. Florida’s 2-5 batters were a 1 to 12 combination, including 0 to 5 with scoring runners. Maxwell has done it to many teams this year.

next: Florida (49-18) fell into the loser slot and set up a Sunday elimination game with fifth-seeded UCLA (49-9) at 3:00 pm. The winner of the Gator’s-Blueins match will win first place and top-seeded Oklahoma (56-2), along with Oklahoma (50-12), in a match that will affect the defeat of the Gator’s or Bruins. It remains the only undefeated team left on the field.
