Box Score

WACO, Texas - Baylor's 22nd-ranked softball team dropped a 2-0 decision to No. 12 Oklahoma here Sunday in Big 12 Conference action in front of 530 fans at Getterman Stadium. Oklahoma joins Texas as the only teams to sweep Baylor this season as the Lady Bears dropped a third straight game for the first time this year.

Baylor (45-16, 10-8) finishes fourth in the conference standings. The Lady Bears will play No. 24 Texas A&M at 11 a.m. CDT Friday at the Big 12 Tournament. Baylor swept the Aggies in the regular season, winning 4-0 at home and 3-0 two weeks ago at College Station.

Oklahoma (41-12, 14-2) finishes second in the league standings and will face the winner of the Kansas-Texas Tech contest at the conference tournament.

Oklahoma jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the second when Leah Gulla led off with her conference-leading 14th home run of the season. The Sooners tacked on another run in the third; after a one-out walk to Kelli Braitsch, Christina Enea banged a double off the left-field wall to score Braitsch.

That was all the offense OU starter Angela Foster needed as she tossed third no-hitter of the season. She allowed only a leadoff walk to Kelly Levesque, striking out two and facing one over the minimum.

Baylor starter Cristin Vitek was touched for both runs and was saddled with the loss. Vitek (17-7) surrendered six hits and three walks, striking out three. Joni Miller pitched the final two innings perfectly with one strikeout.

The Lady Bears close out the regular season 25-6 at Getterman Stadium, establishing school records for home victories, total home attendance (9,248) and average home attendance (402).
