Cowboy starter Dane Mason (3-1) pitched seven efficient innings, allowing just one run on two hits while striking out three to pick up the win.
Oklahoma State struck early and often with an eight-run first inning highlighted by a two-run homer by Josh Fields and a three-run shot by Scott Kirby.
The Pokes scored in the first six innings of the game, with the Bulldogs lone run coming via a homer by centerfielder Gil Laird.
Fields finished the day 4-for-6 at the plate with four RBIs while shortstop Chris Gutierrez added two hits, including a three-run homer and five RBIs.
Blake Burns (3-1) was tagged with his first loss of the season, allowing 10 runs on 10 hits in 1.2 innings of work.
Oklahoma State will continue its stretch of eight games in 10 days, as the team heads to Tempe, Ariz., to take on nationally ranked Arizona State in a two-game midweek series. The Pokes and Sun Devils will meet on Tuesday and Wednesday at 8 p.m. CT.
