Cyclones Fall To Texas, 4-0, In Second Game

AMES, Iowa ? Texas hit three home runs and Brittany Barnhill tossed a complete game shutout to lead the Longhorns to a 4-0 win over Iowa State in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader at the Southwest Athletic Complex.

The Longhorns (18-12-2, 4-1 Big 12) took their first lead in the second inning on a costly error by the Cyclones (23-14, 1-3).

With one out and Desiree Williams on second, Brittany Chalk flew out to centerfield for the second out. Williams tagged and Kelsey Kidwell's throw into the infield got past third baseman Jacquelyn Beatty and Williams came in to score and make it 1-0 Texas.

Barnhill and ISU pitcher Rachel Zabriskie kept their opponents off the board until the sixth when Loryn Johnson homered to center. Barnhill had a perfect game going until Amanda Bradberry broke it up with a double down the left field line with one out in the fifth.

The Lonhorns would homer twice more in the seventh as Chalk and Shelby Savony took Zabriskie deep to make it 4-0.

Barnhill (4-6) sent the Cyclones down in order in the seventh to pick up the win. Barnhill gave up just two hits and struck out six.

Zabriskie (11-5) got the loss, giving up four runs and striking out seven.

The Cyclones will be back in action on Tuesday as they play host to Iowa at 4 p.m.
