STILLWATER — Oklahoma State posted its second three-game series sweep of the season with an 8-3 win over BYU Saturday at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium.

With the win, the Cowboys improved to 11-5, including an 8-1 mark on their home field. BYU fell to 7-9.

Bryce Osmond recorded the first win of his career on the mound as the freshman right-hander pitched five innings, striking out four and allowing just one run on two hits. Osmond, who improved to 1-1, was one of four Cowboy pitchers on the day.

Offensively, five Cowboys collected RBIs in the contest, with Cade Cabbiness leading the way with three and Kaden Polcovich also driving in a pair of runs.

OSU struck first in the third in as a Caeden Trenkle double into the right-center field gap plated Dylan Gardner, who reached on a walk.

After holding the Cougars hitless over the first four innings, Osmond surrendered a leadoff double to Abraham Valdez in the fifth. A single and a hit by pitch loaded the bases before a sacrifice fly off the bat of Andrew Pintar tied the score at 1-1 before Osmond retired the next two batters to escape further damage.

The Cowboys took command in the bottom of the fifth, rallying for three runs. Polcovich brought home two of those on a triple to right-center field, and Justin Campbell followed with an RBI double to give OSU a 4-1 advantage.

OSU pushed its lead to 5-1 on a sacrifice fly by Hueston Morrill in the sixth before adding three insurance runs in the seventh when, with the bases full of Cowboys, Cabbiness smacked a three-RBI double to the wall in right-center field.

With OSU leading 8-1, BYU scored runs in each of the final two innings off Zach Cable before the Cowboy reliever retired Hayden Leatham with a pair of runners on to end the game.

OSU returns to action with a two-game midweek series against Saint Louis beginning Tuesday at 4 p.m. at Reynolds Stadium. The Cowboys will also take on SLU at 4 p.m. Wednesday before opening a weekend series with Fresno State Friday.
