STILLWATER — Oklahoma State secured its second three-game series win of the season with a 6-1 victory over BYU Friday at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium.

Justin Campbell was dominant on the mound, and Caeden Trenkle and Nick DeNicola homered as the Cowboys improved to 10-5 on the season, including a 7-1 mark at home.

Campbell had a career day on the mound as the freshman recorded his first-career win to improve to 1-2. The right-hander tossed eight shutout innings and posted nine strikeouts, both career highs, while allowing just three hits and not walking a batter.

OSU jumped on the scoreboard early. After a leadoff double by Hueston Morrill and a Trenkle sacrifice bunt, Kaden Polcovich delivered an RBI single to put the Pokes up 1-0.

In the third, Trenkle smacked his third home run of the season, a two-run shot over the wall in right field to extend the Cowboys' lead to 3-0.

With Campbell cruising, OSU got some insurance in the seventh when DeNicola collected his first hit as a Cowboy, crushing a three-run bomb to left field to double the lead.

BYU (7-8) managed its lone run in the ninth. After the Cougars loaded the bases with no outs against reliever John Kelly on two walks and a single, a fielder's choice plated a run. But Brett Standlee shut the door on any chance of a comeback by the visitors to secure the win.

The two teams will conclude the series Saturday at noon.
