Baylor got off to a hot start against the Cowgirls, scoring in the top of the first and carrying the lead until the fourth inning. To leadoff the game, Presleigh Pilon roped a double to right-center before moving to third on a sacrifice bunt to put a runner in scoring position early. With a runner on third, Shaylon Govan laced a single through the left side to pick up the RBI and put BU on top 1-0.

After allowing the leadoff batter to get on for the Cowgirls, Lexie Warncke and the Baylor defense forced three-straight groundouts to end the threat.

Brooklyn Carter singled for the Bears in the top of the second, before Baylor worked out of a jam in the bottom half on the inning when the Cowgirls lined into a double play.

Tacking on two runs in the third, Amber Toven led things off with a single before Govan walked and they moved to second and third on a sacrifice bunt. Abi Flores loaded the bases when she reached on a fielder's choice and two runs came home on a double from Karynton Dawson to put the Bears out front 3-0.

Getting a run back in the third, Oklahoma State hit a solo shot to lead off the bottom of the third before retiring the next three batters.
