WICHITA, Kan. – #8 Oklahoma State scored six times in the top of the fifth to overturn a 5-3 deficit, eventually doubling up Wichita State 12-6 on Tuesday night at Riverfront Stadium.
The decisive inning started with five consecutive Oklahoma State runners, including a pair of RBI doubles from Griffin Doersching and Nolan McClean. After a sacrifice fly made it 7-5, Ian Daugherty hit a two-run homer for his first long ball of the season, extending the Oklahoma State lead to 9-5.
The barrage came against starter Jace Miner and relievers Creighton Hansen (0-1) and Caden Favors, though three of the six runs in the inning were unearned due to a Wichita State error earlier in the frame.
The Shockers (13-28) got a solo home run from Brock Rodden in the bottom of the eighth, but were otherwise unable to dent the Cowboys bullpen the rest of the way.
