The Oklahoma State softball team got closer to a Top 3 seed in the Big 12 Tournament with an 8-1 win over Kansas on Friday night at Cowgirl Stadium. OSU (36-13, 15-7 in Big 12) likely needs to win the series to secure that Top 3 seed, as it was a game ahead of Kansas (33-17, 13-9) as the No. 3 seed going into the series. Arizona was a game ahead of the Cowgirls and UCF was 13-8-1 in league action going into Friday’s action. On Friday, UCF defeated Iowa State and Arizona defeated Utah. But Kansas dropped to two games behind OSU. The Cowgirls hit four home runs, all solo shots, as they scored all their runs in their final three at-bats after Kansas starter Chloe Barber (8-7) no-hit them for three innings.
