No. 17 Oklahoma State walks off No. 21 Texas to take the series

No. 17 Oklahoma State walked off No. 21 Texas 4-3 to earn a crucial Big 12 series victory.

9th inning struggles cost Texas the ballgame on Sunday.

Up 3-2 in the top half of the ninth, Texas loaded the bases with no outs looking to add some insurance runs. Instead, Jared Thomas stuck out swinging and Mitchell Daly hit into a double play to end the frame scoreless.

David Pierce then turned to closer Zane Morehouse to record the final three outs. Morehouse got the leadoff batter the flyout before giving up a single and three consecutive walks to tie the game. Oklahoma State’s Nolan Schubart drilled a hard single into right field to send the Longhorns home disappointed.

Texas’ bats were held quiet aside from a three-run homerun from Garret Guillmette in the first inning. Cowboys’ pitching did an excellent job of keeping Texas’ from stringing hits together all weekend long.

Up next for Texas is a midweek matchup back home against Air Force on Tuesday.

That’s the ballgame.

Oklahoma State walks it off in the 9th and the Horns drop their first conference series of the season. #HookEm
