Cowboy Baseball Comes Up Short In Series Opener
March 31, 2023 | Cowboy Baseball
STILLWATERย โ Oklahoma State dropped the first game of its series against Texas with a 5-3 setback Friday at O'Brate Stadium.
ย
With the loss, the 13th-ranked Cowboys fell to 20-7 overall and 4-3 in Big 12 play. The win was the 16th in a row for the 15th-ranked Longhorns, who improved to 20-7 and 4-0 in the league..
ย
Tyler Wulfert and Nolan McLean powered the Cowboys' offense, each hitting solo home runs, while Carson Benge added two doubles and a single in four at-bats.
ย
Ben Abram started on the mound, working 5 1/3 innings and striking out four while allowing five runs. He fell to 4-1 on the season, with the loss snapping his streak of winning four consecutive starts.
ย
Drew Blake replaced Abram and shut down the Longhorns, working two shutout innings without allowing a hit.
ย
Isaac Stebens entered in the top of the eighth and worked a crucial 1 2/3 scoreless frames, striking out three, to keep the Cowboys within striking distance.
ย
OSU gave itself a chance in the bottom of the ninth, putting the first two runners on base after a Benge double and a walk to pinch hitter Colin Brueggemann, but the Cowboys couldn't capitalize.
ย
The Cowboys struck first in the game on a fielder's choice RBI single from Marcus Brown in the second inning, but the Longhorns quickly responded with a two-run homer and RBI single in the third inning to take a 3-1 lead.
ย
Texas added two more runs in the fourth on another two-run blast, this one from Jalin Flores that put UT up 5-1, but McLean's eighth round tripper of the season, a solo shot, brought the Cowboys back to within three runs.
ย
Wulfert's solo homer, his fourth of the season, tacked on another Cowboy run in the sixth inning to cut the Longhorns' lead to 5-3.
ย
A pair of Cowboys reached base with two outs in the seventh, but a foul out to the catcher stranded both runners.
ย
The two teams return to action Saturday at 6 p.m. before Sunday's series finale at 1 p.m.
