Sooners Complete Sweep Of LSU

A three-run third inning and a clutch relief appearance from junior Shelby Pendley gave No. 16 Oklahoma (21-8) a 3-2 win Sunday over LSU (19-12) to complete a two-game sweep.

Oklahoma scored three runs in the third inning behind a throwing error on LSU's catcher on a double steal, an RBI double by senior Brittany Williams and another throwing error by the Tigers' pitcher.

At the plate, Pendley finished 2-for-2 with a walk and run scored. Her hitting streak stands a career-best 13 games.

Junior Georgia Casey and senior Brittany Williams also collected two hits in the game. Casey was 2-for-3 with a run a scored, while Williams was 2-for-3 with a run scored and a run driven in.
