March 23, 2025 | Cowboy Baseball
SALT LAKE CITYย โ Oklahoma State suffered a 12-3 loss and dropped its conference series with Utah Sunday at Smith's Ballpark.
ย
With the loss, the Cowboys fell to 11-10 overall and 1-3 in the Big 12, while the Utes are now 13-9 and 2-4 in the league.
ย
Brayden Smith, Colin Brueggemann and Drew Culbertson all had multiple hits for the Pokes, and Beau Sylvester homered.
ย
Ryan Ure took the loss on the mound as he lasted just 1/3 of an inning and fell to 1-2; the Cowboys used six pitchers in the contest and allowed eight unearned runs.
ย
Utah took the game's initial lead in the first inning. Ure retired the first batter he faced but then issued three-straight walks to end his day on the mound. Noah Wech came out of the bullpen and got a ground ball the resulted in a fielder's choice and a run scored.
ย
The Utes would double their lead in the third, getting an RBI single from Cameron Gurney to go up, 2-0.
ย
OSU rallied for its first run in the fifth. Culbertson led off the frame with a double, and two batters later, Smith's RBI single made the score 2-1.
ย
But the home team answered in the bottom of the inning, striking for seven unearned runs. A throwing error got things started, putting a runner at second with no outs, and Kaden Carpenter followed with an RBI double to give the Utes a 3-1 advantage. Three consecutive RBI singles with two outs would extend the lead to five before a three-run home run made it 9-1.
ย
In the sixth, the Cowboys got a two-run homer from Sylvester, his first round-tripper of the season, to cut their deficit to 9-3.
ย
OSU returns to action Tuesday when the Cowboys host Wichita State at O'Brate Stadium. First pitch is set for 6 p.m.
