Cowboy Baseball Drops Series At BYU
March 28, 2026 | Cowboy Baseball
PROVO, Utah – Oklahoma State fell to BYU in Saturday's rubber game at Miller Park as a two-run, walk-off home run with two outs in the ninth lifted the Cougars to a 5-4 win.
With the loss, the Cowboys fell to 17-11 overall and 3-6 in Big 12 play, while BYU improved to 13-13 and 4-5 in the league.
Kollin Ritchie carried the Cowboys offensively, homering and driving in three runs, and Stormy Rhodes turned in a career performance on the mound.
Rhodes tallied a career-high six strikeouts in five innings of work, which tied his career-long outing. The righty allowed just one run on four hits.
Noah Wech took the loss, falling to 2-3 on the season, as he gave up two runs in 1 2/3 innings.
OSU took the game's initial lead in the third. Colin Brueggemann led off the inning with a single and after a walk and a flyout, the Cowboys had runners on the corners. Up next, Brock Thompson delivered an RBI single through the left side to make the score 1-0.
The Cowboys weren't done as Ritchie added to his team-leading RBI total by ripping a single to right field to plate a pair of runs and extend the lead to 3-0.
OSU held the three-run lead until the sixth. Following a leadoff double, Ryder Robinson singled to make the score 3-1. Robinson was caught stealing before a double, but Rhodes was able to escape further damage by getting a fly out and a groundout to keep the two-run advantage intact.
The Cougars drew closer in the seventh, getting back-to-back doubles with two outs off Zane Burns to trim their deficit to 3-2 before Drew Blake came on and induced an inning-ending pop up on the first pitch he delivered.
It was Ritchie adding a key insurance run in the eighth as he smacked a solo home run over the wall in left field. The blast was his team-leading and career-high 16th of the season.
BYU made things interesting in the bottom of the inning, loading the bases against Wech without the benefit of a hit, before the OSU closer got a line out to escape the jam unscathed.
In the ninth, Wech struck out the leadoff hitter but issued another free base on a hit by pitch, which was followed by an RBI double to cut the Cowboys' lead to 4-3. Following another strikeout, Keoni Painter homered to center field to give BYU the win.
OSU returns to action Tuesday with a road contest at Dallas Baptist, with first pitch set for 6:30 p.m.
