NORMAN, Okla.ย โ Oklahoma State opened the Bedlam Series with a 13-2 rout of Oklahoma Thursday night at L. Dale Mitchell Park.
ย
With the win, the 10th-ranked Cowboys improved to 36-15 overall and 14-8 in Big 12 play, while OU is now 29-23 and 10-12 in the conference. OSU is now within one game of West Virginia for first place in the league standings.
ย
Colin Brueggemann homered twice, and Tyler Wulfert also went deep as six Cowboys collected RBIs in the contest. Brueggemann finished with a career-high five RBIs, while Wulfert and Roc Riggio each drove in two runs.
ย
Evan O'Toole picked up the win in relief of starter Nolan McLean to improve to 6-1 on the season as he tossed five shutout innings and struck out four.
ย
McLean was solid in his first-career start, which came in his 36th collegiate appearance. The righty worked three innings and allowed one run on four hits while striking out five.
ย
OSU took the game's initial lead in the first, loading the bases and plating a run on an RBI fielder's choice by Nolan Schubart to go up, 1-0.
ย
The Pokes added to their lead in the second as Riggio came up with a clutch two-out hit, lining a pitch to left field for a two-RBI single to give OSU a 3-0 advantage.
ย
OSU took advantage of free bases and a big blast in the third. After a hit-by-pitch and two walks loaded the bases, Brueggemann stepped to the plate and smashed a grand slam over the wall in right field. The blast was Brueggemann's fifth of the season and gave the Cowboys a 7-0 lead.
ย
The Sooners finally got on the board with a run in the third when they drew a bases-loaded walk, but McLean escaped further damage as he recorded a strikeout and foul out to leave the bases full.
ย
OSU responded in the fourth with another four-run inning. Following a walk and a double, Chase Adkison brought home the first run with a single, and a wild pitch brought home the Cowboys' ninth run of the contest. A two-run homer by Wulfert, his ninth round-tripper of the season, then pushed the lead to 11-1.
ย
Brueggemann added his second homer of the night in the sixth, a solo shot to left field.
ย
The two teams will return to action Friday at 6:30 p.m.
