Shortstop Jeremy McCuin committed a two-out throwing error with the bases loaded in the third and a fielding error leading off the sixth. The Cowboys also scored in the fourth on a passed ball in an inning that also included three wild pitches.
Oklahoma State continued to hammer away, scoring 12 runs in the final three innings to even its record at 2-2 after dropping a season-opening series to Grand Canyon. ASU fell to 3-1 ahead of a series at No. 1 TCU (3-0 before a Tuesday game) starting Friday.
Zach Dixon (0-1), the first of nine Sun Devil pitchers, took the loss.
