With two outs in the top of the sixth inning of a tense scoreless game, Oklahoma State’s Miranda Elish had fallen behind in the count, but battled back to force it full. At that point, clapping from fans throughout Cowgirl Stadium slowly began to build, as if they sensed they were on the edge of a big moment. "I heard it," Elish said. "I tried not to let it get me too high or anything. I was just trying to stay focused and hit the ball hard and hope that something comes from it."
