Victor Mederos
Cowboy Baseball Walked Off In Series Opener
May 19, 2022 | Cowboy Baseball
WACO, Texasย โ A two-run home run in the ninth inning resulted in No. 8 Oklahoma State dropping a 13-11 contest to Baylor in Thursday night's series opener at Baylor Ballpark.
ย
The loss was the fifth in a row for the Cowboys, who fell to 34-18 overall and 13-9 in Big 12 play. Baylor is now 26-24 and 7-15 in the league.
ย
OSU tallied 18 hits against the Bears, its highest hit total in Big 12 play this season, with every Cowboy in the starting lineup getting a hit and five of those collecting RBIs. But the Pokes stranded 13 runners on the basepaths.
ย
Victor Mederos started on the mound for OSU in his first appearance back from injury since working just one inning at Texas on May 1. The sophomore right-hander worked six innings, allowing three runs on three hits and striking out three.
ย
Hueston Morrill took the loss on the mound to fall to 1-2.
ย
BU took the game's initial lead with an unearned run in the first inning as with two outs, Jake Thompson misplayed a ball in left field that allowed the baserunner from second to score and put the Bears up 1-0.
ย
The Cowboys weren't down long, however. In the second, following a one-out single by Marcus Brown, Caeden Trenkle smashed a two-run homer to right-center field to put OSU on top, 2-1.
ย
In the third, it was Griffin Doersching's turn to show off his power as he deposited a two-run bomb over the wall in left-center field to extend the OSU lead to 4-1. The blast was the slugger's 11th of the season.
ย
The Cowboys continued to produce at the plate in the fourth. Ian Daugherty led off the inning with a double, and two batters later, an RBI single by Roc Riggio made the score 5-1. OSU added its sixth run on a Doersching sacrifice fly later in the frame.
ย
After the Bears plated a run in the bottom of the fourth, OSU answered with a leadoff homer in the fifth, a towering shot off the bat of Nolan McLean marking his team-leading 13th round tripper of the year.
ย
Leading 9-2 after six innings, the Cowboys got a two-out, two-RBI double from David Mendham in the seventh to push their lead to eight.
ย
But the Bears rallied in a big way in the bottom of the inning, plating eight runs, three of those unearned, against OSU relievers Roman Phansalkar, Dillon Marsh and Ryan Bogusz to knot the score.
ย
BU's first two runs in the inning came on a two-RBI single, and a throwing error brought home a third run and made the score 11-6.
ย
After a double and a walk loaded the bases with one out, Jared McKenzie hit a grand slam off Marsh to cut the OSU lead to one. The homer was the second of the game for McKenzie.
ย
With runners on first and second and two outs, Hueston Morrill came out of the bullpen and surrendered a single that tied the game at 11-11 before finally getting out of the inning by inducing groundout.
ย
OSU had opportunities over the final two frames but left runners stranded in both innings.
ย
In the Bears' half of the ninth, Beau Wimpee led off with a single, and Antonio Valdez followed with the game-winning homer.
ย
The two teams return to action Friday at 6:30 p.m.
