ARLINGTON, Texas – Oklahoma State extended its run at the Big 12 Baseball Championship with an 8-1 win over Texas Tech Saturday at Globe Life Field.

The 12^th-ranked Cowboys improved to 40-17 win the win and will now play the Red Raiders again with a berth in Sunday's tourney title game on the line.

Brennan Phillips had a career day on the mound to lead the Cowboys. The freshman southpaw tossed a career-high six innings and allowed just one run on four hits while racking up a career-best seven strikeouts. With the win, he moved to 2-1 on the season.

Bayden Root followed Phillips and was also outstanding as he worked three shutout innings for his first-career save. The right-hander struck out three and allowed just one hit.

Tyler Wulfert led the OSU offense with a 2-for-4, three-RBI outing, while Nolan Schubart also had two hits and drove in a pair of runs.

OSU struck first with a two-out rally in the second. Colin Brueggemann got things started with an opposite-field double, and David Mendham followed suit to put the Cowboys up 1-0. Up next, Marcus Brown brought home a run with a single to push the lead to two.

The Pokes added to their lead in the third. After a walk, single and wild pitch, Schubart plated two runs with a single, and Wulfert followed with an RBI double to the right-center field gap to make the score 5-0. The lead reached six when Wulfert later scored on an error.

OSU continued to light up the scoreboard in the fourth, and once again it was Wulfert doing damage as his two-RBI single pushed the lead to 8-0.

The Red Raiders finally got to Phillips in the fifth as Hudson White led off the inning with his 10^th home run of the season, but that was all they would get as the next three batters went down in order.
