CLEARWATER, Fla. – A walk-off home run from Karli Godwin off Texas A&M All-America pitcher Emiley Kennedy completed the No. 9 Oklahoma State softball team’s 6-5 come-from-behind win over the No. 5 Aggies Saturday at the Eddie C. Moore Complex.
Oklahoma State is 4-4 on the season, and the Cowgirls close out their weekend at the Shriners Children’s Clearwater Invitational against No. 14/13 Alabama tomorrow at 5 p.m.
The Cowgirls trailed by four runs and were down to their final out before Rosie Davis doubled home Megan Delgadillo and Tia Warsop to bring the score to 5-4 in Texas A&M’s favor. Godwin then took the first pitch of the ensuing at-bat and blasted it well over the left field fence to secure the win.
The win marks Kenny Gajewski’s 25th win over a team ranked in the top 10 of the NFCA poll while at Oklahoma State. It was the first loss of the season for the Aggies (8-1 overall).
