Cowgirl Softball Beats No. 4 Washington, 7-0

Lexi Kilfoyl threw a complete game two-hit shutout to lead the No. 7/8 Oklahoma State softball team to a 7-0 victory over No. 4/4 Washington Thursday at USF Softball Stadium as part of the South Florida Showdown.

It was the second-most lopsided win ever for the Cowgirls over an NFCA top-five opponent and the first shutout of an NFCA top-five opponent since 2017.

With the win, the Cowgirls improved to 9-2. Washington fell to 8-2.

After the first four innings went by scoreless, an RBI single from Tallen Edwards broke the stalemate in the fifth. Claire Timm followed with a two-run home run to put the Cowgirls ahead, 3-0. It was her second home run of the season.

OSU tacked on four more in the seventh, thanks to an RBI double from Micaela Wark followed by a three-run home run from Rosie Davis, her third on the season.

Pitching just 30 minutes away from her hometown of Land O'Lakes, Florida, Kilfoyl allowed only two baserunners all game, one of whom was eliminated as part of a first-inning double play. She needed only 80 pitches to defeat the Huskies and improve to 5-2 on the season. Lindsay Lopez took the loss for Washington, falling to 3-1 on the year.

For Kilfoyl, it was her second consecutive complete game shutout victory over a ranked opponent, as she blanked No. 16 Florida as part of a 3-0 OSU win over the Gators earlier in the week.

The Cowgirls return to action at 5:30 p.m. CT today against South Florida. The game will be streamed on ESPN+.
