STILLWATER – Oklahoma State completed a series sweep of Kansas State Sunday afternoon with an 8-2 win at O'Brate Stadium.

The victory moved the 13^th-ranked Cowboys to 15-6-1 on the season, including a 4-2 mark in Big 12 Conference play; K-State fell to 13-10 and 0-3 in the league.

Justin Wrobleski picked up the win on the mound to improve to 2-2 as the southpaw took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and racked up nine strikeouts in his seven innings of work.

Offensively, Carson McCusker had two hits and drove in a pair of runs, while Christian Encarnacion-Strand also had two hits, including a home run. Caeden Trenkle added two RBIs for the Pokes.

OSU went on top for good when Encarnacion-Strand led off the second inning with a homer, his team-leading eighth of the season. Later in the frame, the Cowboys tacked on two more runs on a two-out, two-RBI double by Trenkle to go up 3-0.

Despite not collecting a hit, K-State got its first run in the third, taking advantage of a pair of walks and a double steal and scoring on a groundout.

The Cowboys took control in the middle innings. A three-run fourth inning was highlighted by an RBI double off the bat of McCusker and a sacrifice fly from Hueston Morrill, and OSU added two more runs in the fifth on RBI singles by McCusker and Brock Mathis.

The lone hit K-State would get off Wrobleski came in the seventh when Zach Kokoska led off the inning with a home run to right field that provided the final 8-2 score.

Trevor Martin and Brett Standlee combined to keep the Wildcats off the scoreboard over the final two innings to secure the win.

Up next, OSU hosts Bedlam-rival Oklahoma in a non-conference game Tuesday night. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. at O'Brate Stadium.
