Junior Ty Wright jump started the offense with a double to right-center field and later came in to score on Shelby Ford's double down the left-field line. Ford then scored on an RBI single by Tyler Mach that made the score 2-0.
In the third inning, OSU sophomore Corey Brown connected on a solo home run, his first of the season, which sailed over the right-center field wall and began a three-run inning for the Cowboys. That rally made the score 5-0 and was the first of three 3-run innings on the day for coach Frank Anderson's ballclub.
