Cowboy Baseball Clinches Series
April 04, 2026 | Cowboy Baseball
STILLWATERย โ Oklahoma State clinched its second Big 12 series win of the season with an 11-3 victory over Cincinnati Saturday night at O'Brate Stadium.
ย
With the win, the Cowboys improved to 20-11 overall and 5-6 in Big 12 play, while UC fell to 21-12 overall and 4-7 in Big 12 play.ย
ย
TP Wentworth had two home runs, including a seventh inning grand slam, and finished with a career-high five RBIs. Wentworth's grand slam marked the second-straight game OSU had a grand slam and the third game in a row where a Cowboy homered twice.
ย
Alex Conover also had a big night, going 4-for-4 at the plate, while Brock Thompson had two hits and drove in three runs.
ย
Mario Pesca made his eighth start and earned the win to improve to 4-2. The right-hander worked six innings and tied a career high with eight strikeouts while allowing just two earned runs.
ย
Stormy Rhodes picked up his second save of the season as he kept the Bearcats off the scoreboard over the final three innings and struck out two.
ย
The Cowboy offense got on the board in the first. Conover singled to lead off the inning, and Aidan Meola later delivered a sacrifice fly down the right field line to make the score 1-0.ย
ย
Cincinnati answered back in the second with a pair of two-out RBI singles to take a 2-1 lead.
ย
OSU went back on top in the bottom of the inning when Wentworth got the scoring started with a solo blast to right field. Walks to Evan Saunders and Garrett Shull set up a Conover RBI double and a Thompson sacrifice fly to give the Pokes a 4-2 lead.ย
ย
After giving up two runs in the second, Pesca retired 11-straight hitters, striking out six in the process. His streak ended on an error that later scored on a pop up that dropped in for a double and cut the OSU advantage to 4-3.
ย
OSU broke the game open in the seventh, rallying for seven runs. After UC intentionally walked Colin Brueggemann to load the bases, Wentworth hit a grand slam for his second home run of the game and seventh bomb of the season.
ย
Saunders then doubled and was followed by two more walks to load the bases for a Thompson two-run double and a 10-3 lead. Meola struck out swinging but reached safely on a wild pitch that also allowed Conover to score the seventh run of the inning.ย
ย
OSU will look to sweep the Bearcats in Sunday's series finale at 1 p.m.
