Montana Fouts (0-2) took the loss, giving up two runs, one earned, and seven hits over three innings.
Oklahoma State's Sydney Pennington went 2-for-4 with a home run. Starter Carrie Eberle (3-1) gave up just three hits to get the win.

OSU improved to 6-3.
The Crimson Tide (4-5) will return to Tuscaloosa and host its home opener next weekend with the Easton Bama Bash. Alabama's first games will be against Wichita State and Penn State on Friday at 4 and 6 p.m., respectively.
