Top 5 NCAA softball tournament super regional round performers
4. Kelly Maxwell, Oklahoma State
Tasked with a battle against Oregon, Maxwell watched teammate Lexi Kilfoyl open things up with a similar effort to hers in Game 1 after allowing just one earned run in seven innings. Following an 8-1 opening win, Maxwell took the mound with similar intentions, tossing seven scoreless innings with eight strikeouts. The redshirt senior’s only two hits came during her final inning, helping the Cowgirls to a 9-0 win over the Ducks. With no earned runs, Maxwell’s impressive performance bought her another appearance in the upcoming round.
