3 takeaways: Cowgirls skate by with close series win vs Iowa State

In upset fashion, No. 3 OSU had its seven-game winning streak snapped on Sunday.

The Cowgirls (39-4) dropped the final game of their three-game series with Iowa State (14-25) 3-2 in 11 innings. It is OSU’s first conference loss of the year. Here are three takeaways from the series. Bats never came alive

In the 3-2 loss to the Cyclones, OSU scored the first of its two runs in the bottom of the first on Kiley Naomi’s single. Its final run came in the bottom of the fourth, as Morgyn Wynne crushed a ball to right field, but the Cowgirls went scoreless in the final seven innings on just three hits.

The top of the lineup is keeping the Cowgirls afloat, as only four other players recorded a hit in the final two games of the series.

“We gotta get going, hitting wise,” said OSU coach Kenny Gajewksi. “I feel like we’re just leaving too much out there. So, whatever that is, we’ll get it figured out and coach it up to see if we can execute.”
