A Dramatic Turnaround
Oklahoma State’s baseball team turned a seven‑run deficit into an 11‑10 victory over Texas Christian University, completing a series sweep on the road. The win improved the Cowboys to 31‑17 overall and 14‑10 in Big 12 play, while TCU fell to 29‑18 and 13‑11 in league competition.
The offensive surge was led by senior Kollin Ritchie, who cracked his 26th home run of the season, and sophomore Aidan Meola, who homered twice and drove in four runs, combining for six hits and seven RBIs. Alex Conover opened the scoring with a leadoff homer, and the lineup continued to press with timely hits throughout the game.
On the mound, starter Brennan Phillips struck out two in the first inning before TCU answered with a seven‑run burst in the second. Relief pitcher Zane Burns delivered three shutout innings, and Noah Wech closed the game with a two‑inning save, limiting the Horned Frogs to a single unearned run.
Looking Ahead
The Cowboys will next travel to Arizona State for a three‑game series beginning Friday. With key contributors such as Brock Thompson, Rob Liddington Jr., Brady Dallimore, Chase Brunson, Arthur Jack, Danny Wallace, Jake Kennedy and Drew Blake still in the mix, Oklahoma State aims to carry the momentum forward as the season progresses.
