Cowboys Cruise To Seventh Straight Win

News9.com

MANHATTAN, Kansas – Not only have the Cowboys won seven straight games, but they have also done it in dominating fashion.

Oklahoma State continued rolling through Big 12 play on Saturday with a 13-3 victory against the Kansas State Wildcats on the road.

In OSU's seven-game winning streak, it has outscored its opponents by a total of 44-12.

Surprisingly enough, however, KSU's three runs on Saturday were the first three runs of the game, and OSU looked to be in trouble for a little bit.

RJ Santigate homered in the second to score two runs, and the Wildcats added another in the third inning to lead 3-0.

But that appeared to awaken a sleeping giant as the Cowboys rallied back furiously in the top of the fourth.

A series of four base hits in the inning resulted in five runs across the plate for the Cowboys, who quickly took over the lead.

But OSU wasn't done after the fourth. It managed another set of three runs in the sixth inning as the Cowboys steadily worked their way around the bases.

In the seventh inning, the Wildcats essentially helped Oklahoma State pile it on as they threw wild pitches, accidentally hit batters to bring runs home and committed errors.

After the damage was done in the seventh, OSU led 12-3 and added a completely unnecessary insurance run in the top of the ninth.

Randy McCurry finished the day with three RBIs for OSU, while Jarrett Higgins and Jared Womack had two each.

Chase Stevens got the win, throwing 6.1 innings and giving up three hits and no earned runs.

Oklahoma State clinched its first road series victory of the season and will finish out the series on Sunday at Noon in Manhattan, Kan.
