LSU’s softball team only allowed two hits on their home field against the No. 1 ranked Oklahoma Sooners, who entered Tuesday night’s game on a 28-game winning streak.
That’s all OU needed, however, as it won 3-0. The Tigers had three hits but stranded four on base as they couldn’t score a run against the nation’s top team.
[autotag]Sydney Berzon[/autotag] retired the side in the first to start the game, but Oklahoma got a runner on in the second on a fielding error, and another error allowed a run to score. After a homer, her day was done.
LSU’s defense tightened up after that as [autotag]Raelin Chaffin[/autotag], [autotag]Emilee Casanova[/autotag] and [autotag]Alea Johnson[/autotag] didn’t allow another run the rest of the way, but offense was hard to come by.
The Tigers’ best challenge came in the bottom of the sixth when they got two on thanks to a single from [autotag]Danieca Coffey[/autotag] and a catcher’s interference call, but a [autotag]Georgia Clark[/autotag] lineout ended the threat.
LSU will now hit the road for a ranked series against No. 21 Auburn, which starts Friday.
