Head coach Kyle Minton credited good pitching to Allie Schullawl and solid defense all day as the mix that got the job done.
Minton talks about Bartlesville’s big day.
Bartlesville had been 0-2 against Owasso all year until its back-to-back wins to advance to state.
Minton credits this slow pitch season to a big improvement in both seasons for BHS softball - Defensively. Bartlesville has raised its fielding percentage almost seven points in the three years they’ve brought back the sport.

BHS will receive its bracket for 6A State later this week after all the Regionals have wrapped up.
