OSU Baseball Caps Regular Season With Double Sweep at Houston

Oklahoma State’s regular season is over and it was a fitting end.

OSU baseball finished its regular season with a doubleheader in Houston, winning both games in dominating fashion. After the first game was canceled due to severe weather, the Cowboys started and finished the series on Saturday. The result was never in question.

It didn’t take long for the Cowboys to impose their will in the first half of the doubleheader en route to a 20-3 victory. After two scoreless first innings, OSU scored six runs in the top of the third.

Houston responded to make the score 6-2 until the Cowboys put the game away in the sixth inning. After scoring a run in the fifth, the Cowboys scored 10 in the sixth. Including a double from Zach Ehrhard that drove in three runs, OSU’s explosive inning led to a 17-point victory.

Later in the afternoon, OSU regained the upper hand in the second game. With two runs in the second inning, OSU struck first and never looked back. Although it wasn’t the same dominance as the first game, OSU won 9-2 to finish the regular season on a winning streak.

Nolan Schubart led the Cowboys throughout the day, hitting a few home runs as part of his eight RBIs.

OSU finishes the regular season 36-16, hoping to advance to the College World Series. The Cowboys will look forward to the Big 12 tournament, which begins Tuesday in Arlington.

While it remains to be seen if OSU can put together a remarkable postseason run, a successful finish to the regular season will give the team momentum heading into Globe Life Field.
