Oklahoma drops finale
Oklahoma drops finale in softball as Kasidi Pickering roped a three-run double to extend her staggering reached base streak to 15 consecutive at-bats, but No. 10 Tennessee (29-7, 5-4 SEC) responded with five two-out runs in the top of the fourth as No. 2 Oklahoma Softball (31-3, 9-3 SEC) came up short in the rubber game, 5-3, Sunday.
All eight of the game’s runs were scored between only two different half innings. OU’s Sam Landry had a perfect game going until Tennessee had five straight batters reach with two away in the fourth. Down 5-3, Abigale Dayton opened the fifth with a walk and laced a two-out single in the seventh, but Tennessee righty Karlyn Pickens closed the door in each frame.
Pickering’s streak of reaching base safely in 15 consecutive at-bats began last Sunday at Missouri with her game-winning two-run home run. She would go 1-for-1 with four walks at Wichita State and started the Tennessee series by going 7-for-7 with two free passes.
