No. 21 Texas takes game one over No. 17 Oklahoma State 5-3

No. 21 Texas continues its winning ways with a 5-3 victory over No. 17 Oklahoma State.

Texas took an early 2-1 lead via a 444-foot homerun by Garret Guillmette in the third inning. An RBI single by Jack O’Dowd and a two-run home run from Jalin Flores pushes the Horns lead to 5-1 in the fourth.

Dylan Campbell provided a nice night at the plate to help the Longhorns’ effort. Campbell had three hits, finishing just a home run shy of the cycle.

Lucas Gordon delivered another sharp Friday night performance. The lefty picked up the win by tossing seven innings of three-run baseball.

Gordon handed to ball over to the Texas bullpen as David Shaw and Zane Morehouse slammed the door on the Cowboys. Morehouse picked up his fourth save since taking over the closer role.

The win pushes Texas to 20-7 overall and 4-0 in Big 12 Conference play. The Longhorns are looking to clinch the series on Saturday with Travis Stehle on the bump.
