Oklahoma State (46-14), which beat the Ducks 8-1 in Game 1, has clinched a berth in its 15th Women's College World Series, including four straight.
Maxwell (16-5) had a perfect game through 6 1/3 innings before Allee Bunker's single up the middle.

Maxwell finished with eight strikeouts.
Rachel Becker led off the game with a double and scored when Naomi hit a single to center that made it 1-0. Becker added a two-RBI single -- on the eighth pitch of the at-bat -- and scored when Naomi hit three-run home run to cap a six-run top of the fifth and make it 7-0.
Naomi doubled to lead off the seventh inning before Katelynn Carwile and Morgyn Wynne each hit an RBI double to cap the scoring.

OKLAHOMA 9, CLEMSON 2
NORMAN, Okla. -- Haley Lee hit a grand slam, Cydney Sanders and Alyssa Brito each added a homer and top-ranked Oklahoma extended its winning streak to 47 with a victory over Clemson in the opener of the Norman Super Regional.
Oklahoma (55-1) tied Arizona's all-time Division I record of 47 straight wins, set in 1997. The Sooners seek to break the record on Saturday in Game 2 of the best-of-three series with Clemson (49-11).
Oklahoma had two fielding errors in the fifth inning as Clemson pulled within 4-2, but the Sooners broke it open in the bottom half with five straight hits, including a grand slam.
Oklahoma's 15th error of the season put runners on second and third with one out in the fifth. Caroline Jacobsen took advantage by hitting a two-run double down the line. Clemson loaded the bases after Oklahoma's second error of the inning, but Jordy Bahl ended the threat with a strikeout and a soft liner to Tiare Jennings at second base.
Oklahoma's first three batters of the fifth inning reached on hits -- after just four pitches -- and then Lee cleared the bases for an 8-2 lead. After a pitching change, Brito hit her 16th home run of the season.
