Cowboy Baseball Tops Oral Roberts Again
April 23, 2024 | Cowboy Baseball
ย
With the win, OSU improved to 27-14, while the Golden Eagles are now 14-26-1.
ย
The Cowboys homered three times, and four different Pokes drove in multiple runs. Carson Benge led the way with a 2-for-6, four-RBI night.
ย
OSU used five pitchers in the contest, with Brennan Phillips tossing four shutout innings and tying a career-best with seven strikeouts to earn the win in relief and move to 2-0. Starter Dominick Reid allowed two runs and struck out a pair in two innings.
ย
The Pokes jumped out to an early lead in the first on Zach Ehrhard's eighth home run of the season, a two-run blast over the left field wall.
ย
The Golden Eagles would rally to tie the score in the second, collecting four hits in the inning. Sam Thompson brought home the first run with a double before an RBI single from Martell Davis made the score 2-2.
ย
The Pokes quickly regained the lead in the third. Benge added to his team leading doubles total with a two-RBI job to center field, and he later came home to score on a wild pitch to put OSU up 5-2.
ย
The visitors weren't done as Ian Daugherty delivered his fourth homer in the last six games, a two-run shot off the foul pole in right field, to extend the lead to five. Three batters later, Kyler Proctor tallied an RBI single to make it 8-2.
ย
OSU kept up its home run barrage with another two-run bomb, this one off the bat of Benge, to make the score 10-2 in the fourth. Benge's seventh of the season traveled 424 feet and caromed off the scoreboard in right-center field.
ย
After ORU plated a pair of runs in the fourth, the Cowboys extended their lead again in the fifth, this time on a two-RBI single with the bases loaded by Nolan Schubart that made the score 12-4.
ย
OSU returns to action Thursday when the Cowboys open a three-game series against BYU at O'Brate Stadium. First pitch for the opener is scheduled for 6 p.m.
