Cowboy Baseball Triumphant In Series Finale
April 21, 2024 | Cowboy Baseball
MANHATTAN, Kan.ย โ Oklahoma State picked up a 6-4 win over Kansas State in Sunday's series finale at Tointon Family Stadium.
ย
With the victory, the 15th-ranked Cowboys improved to 26-14 and 11-7 in the Big 12, while K-State fell to 24-15 and 9-9 in the league.
ย
Lane Forsythe was 3-for-3 for the Cowboys, while Jaxson Crull and Colin Brueggemann both homered.
ย
OSU used six pitchers in the contest, with Brennan Phillips picking up the win in relief of starter Gabe Davis, who tossed 3 1/3 innings and struck out three. The southpaw retired the final two batters in the fourth and is now 1-0 on the season.
ย
The Cowboy bullpen kept K-State off the scoreboard over the final 5 2/3 innings, and Carson Benge earned his team leading third save as he took the mound in the ninth inning and sealed the win.
ย
Ian Daugherty put OSU on the board first as he delivered a sacrifice fly to plate Nolan Schubart and give the Pokes a 1-0 advantage in the second inning.
ย
K-State answered in the bottom of the frame, taking advantage of two hits and two walks to knot the score at 1-1 as a free pass with the bases loaded brought home the tying run.
ย
The Cowboys jumped back on top in the third. After a leadoff walk, Crull smashed a two-run homer to right-center field, his fourth round-tripper of the season, and OSU later added to the lead on a two-out RBI single by Kollin Ritchie to go up 4-1.
ย
The home team trimmed its deficit to one in the bottom of the frame, getting an RBI single from Raphael Pelletier and adding its third run on a wild pitch.
ย
In the fourth, the Cowboys once again used the long ball to get things started as Brueggemann led off the inning with his team-leading 10th bomb of the season. OSU increased its lead to 6-3 on an RBI groundout by Benge later in the frame.
ย
K-State plated the game's final run in the bottom of the fourth on an RBI single by Brendan Jones.
ย
OSU returns to action Tuesday with a road contest at Oral Roberts.
