Meylan's Cowgirls Beat Stanford Twice

Winner
Oklahoma State
UPSET · CALLED IT

Chalk in Stillwater. Oklahoma State swept 3-0: 16-0 over Eastern Illinois, 7-2 over Stanford, 11-5 over Stanford in the title. Meylan got the championship win. Prystajko went all six innings for Stanford in the 7-2 loss and gave up 7 runs. Hasler drove in 6 across the regional and OK State outscored the field 34-7.

X-Factor

Hasler's bat in the title game — 3-for-4 with a double, a homer and 3 RBI — and a 6-run 5th that turned a 3-2 game into a 9-2 lead on the way to an 11-5 win. The Stanford ceiling was real; the OK State depth was deeper.
