OSU Softball: Cowgirls Add Wisconsin Transfer Kendra Lewis

Kenny Gajewski has made a third portal pickup.

Wisconsin transfer Kendra Lewis announced her commitment to Oklahoma State on Tuesday. As a sophomore with the Badgers in 2025, Lewis slashed .333/.432/.519 with seven home runs and 35 RBIs. That came after she was an NFCA Third Team All-American as a freshman in 2025.

That All-American freshman season saw Lewis hit .408 with a 1.092 OPS, seven home runs and 39 RBIs. Not only was that enough to earn her an All-America nod, she was also named to the All-Big Ten First Team.

Although she’s primarily been used as a hitter, Lewis also stepped in the circle for the Badgers, throwing 93 1/3 innings across the past two seasons where she has a 5.63 ERA. She was essentially Wisconsin’s third arm the last two seasons.

She hails from Milan … Illinois. Her high school, Rockridge, went 134-5-1 in her four years, which included a pair of state titles. She went 83-4 from the circle with a 0.95 ERA and had a career batting average of .528.

This is the third portal pickup for the Cowgirls this offseason, and all have come from the Power Conference level, with Lewis joining Kennedy Proctor (Utah) and Madison Hartley (Houston).
