Kansas Softball drops important series vs Oklahoma State as pitching falters

Jayhawks fail to capitalize at home against Oklahoma State.

By Mike.Plank

KU softball saw a disastrous weekend play out against Oklahoma State.  Looking to make a move in the Big 12 standings, the Jayhawks dropped the first two games against OSU before rain washed out the Sunday finale.

Big 12 Standings

Oklahoma 45-7 15-1
Baylor 43-12 13-4
Texas 37-14 10-7
Oklahoma State 27-22 6-9
Kansas 28-20 5-9
Texas Tech 23-32 6-12
Iowa State 20-32 1-14

Kansas really needed to win the series against OSU this past weekend but instead failed to register a single "W."  Fortunately for the Jayhawks, Sunday's game got rained out with KU trailing 2-0 in the third inning.  Oklahoma State takes on in-state rivals and conference leaders Oklahoma next weekend, so the Jayhawks still have a decent shot at finishing fourth in the Big 12.

Up Next

Kansas hosts Iowa State in a Thursday - Saturday set this week.  According to CollegeSportsMadness.com, the Jayhawks are still in the projected field for the NCAA Softball Tournament as one of the Last Four teams in.  KU cannot afford a loss to cellar-dweller Iowa State at this point.
