TULSA, Okla. ---- Oklahoma State softball dropped the series finale to Tulsa Wednesday with a 3-0 loss to the Golden Hurricane at the Collins Family Softball Complex.

The Cowgirls allowed just five hits but Tulsa scored all three runs in the bottom of the third with three hits on its way to the victory.

"The first time since we saw Emily Watson a couple weeks back we were completely overmatched," head coach Kenny Gajewski said. "We took a little better approach today. We hit a couple balls hard. Just couldn't push any runs across. When she doesn't walk anyone it's tough. Credit her, it's why she's where she's at. She's an All-American kid. Just have to give credit where credit is due.

Oklahoma State (29-17) ran into one of the best pitchers in the nation in Emily Watson. Watson came into the game with a 20-3 record with a 1.17 ERA and 244 strikeouts.

The Cowgirls managed two hits through five innings with Alex Edinger and Taylor Lynch both reaching with singles. Madi Sue Montgomery accounted for the other Cowgirl hit with a one-out single to right in the top of the seventh.

The pitching trio of Shea Coats, Brandi Needham and Whitney Whitehorn allowed just two hits the final 18 outs for the Golden Hurricane.

Coats (5-7) took the loss in the circle for the Cowgirls. She went three innings and allowed three runs on four hits. She had one strikeout.
