NORMAN, Okla.Β β Oklahoma State dropped the Bedlam Series Saturday as Oklahoma posted a clinching 5-3 win over the 18th-ranked Cowboys at L. Dale Mitchell Park.
Β
With the loss, OSU fell to 24-14-1 overall and 7-10 in Big 12 Conference play, while the Sooners are 22-19 and 6-8 in the league.
Β
This marks only the second time under ninth-year head coach Josh Holliday that OSU has lost a Bedlam Series. The only other time the Cowboys dropped the series came in 2016.
Β
Kale Davis took the loss on the mound to fall to 0-2 on the season as the right-hander surrendered two runs in two innings out of the bullpen.
Β
Offensively, Max Hewitt led the Cowboys with a 2-for-3 day that included a home run, while Justin Campbell also homered.
Β
Campbell started the game on the mound as well as at DH and worked five innings, allowing just two runs on seven hits while striking out four.
Β
OU took the game's initial lead in the second. After three-straight singles to open the frame loaded the bases, a walk brought home the first run before an RBI single made the score 2-0.
Β
The Cowboys cut their deficit in half in the third when Christian Encarnacion-Strand delivered a sacrifice fly to center field with runners on the corners to plate OSU's first run.
Β
Campbell would help his own cause in the fourth as he blasted his first home run of the season, an opposite-field solo shot over the wall in right that tied the score at 2-2.
Β
OSU used another long ball to take its first lead in the fifth. This one came off the bat of Hewitt, as he deposited a pitch over the left-center field wall to put the Pokes up, 3-2.
Β
The Cowboys clung to the one-run advantage until the seventh when a two-out, two-run home run by Brett Squires put OU back on top. The Sooners added a run in the eighth to push their lead to 5-3.
Β
Jason Ruffcorn picked up the win for OU as he came out of the bullpen and worked the final 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs and striking out 10 to improve to 4-1.
Β
Sunday's series finale is scheduled for a 4 p.m. first pitch.
