DALLAS – Oklahoma State saw its winning streak snapped at seven Tuesday night as Dallas Baptist defeated the No. 3 Cowboys, 8-7, at Horner Ballpark.

A two-run home run with two outs in the ninth inning brought home the winning run as OSU fell to 34-14 on the season; DBU has now won six in a row to improve to 31-17.

The Pokes tallied 13 hits on the night, with Zach Ehrhard going 3-for-5 at the plate, and Jake Thompson, Marcus Brown and Aidan Meola each collecting two hits.

OSU used six pitchers on the night, with Nolan McLean taking the loss to fall to 1-1.

The Cowboys took an early lead, loading the bases with no outs in the first on two walks and a bunt single. They would then get on the board on a sacrifice fly by Griffin Doersching.

But OSU was not on top for long as DBU struck for a pair of runs in the bottom of the inning, taking advantage of an error and getting a two-run double from Cole Moore to go up, 2-1.

Up next, it would be the visitors drawing even as Roc Riggio doubled off the base of the wall in right field to bring home Brown, who led off the second inning with a single, to make the score 2-2.

Each team smacked a leadoff homer in each of its next two at bats, with Nate Rombach’s shot giving DBU a 3-2 lead in the second before Thompson’s 11th blast of the season tied the score in the third.

The Pokes regained the lead in the fifth, rallying for a pair of runs with two outs. Brown got things started with a single, and Meola followed by smoking an RBI double off the top of the wall in center field. Up next, Ian Daugherty delivered an RBI single to center as OSU took a 5-3 advantage.

The back-and-forth affair continued in the sixth as DBU used a pair of home runs to go back on top. Luke Heefner led off the inning with a long ball, and a two-out, two-run shot by Jace Grady gave the Patriots a 6-5 lead.

OSU erased that deficit in the seventh when David Mendham smacked a homer, his eighth of the season, over the wall in right-center field to make the score 6-6.

In the eighth, Doersching’s second RBI of the game gave OSU another lead as he ripped a double to left field with two outs to put the Pokes on top, 7-6.

After retiring the first batter in the ninth, McLean walked Ryan Wrobleski before a flyout brought Blayne Jones to the plate. Jones homered to left field on the first pitch he saw to give the Patriots the win.
