It was a windy afternoon in Stillwater, but nothing blew the Cowboy’s way.

The No. 17 OSU Cowboys dropped the first game a series vs Texas 5-3. With winds that gusted more than 50 MPH, both teams had no issue sending home runs out of O’Brate Stadium. The difference? Texas’ two home runs were two-run shots while OSU’s were solo shots. Cowboy coach Josh Holliday said the Longhorns’ ability to drive in runs was the difference maker.

“I would say that their offense was able to get five across whereas our offense was in a position and didn’t finish the offensive need of getting the run across, (Texas) did,” Holliday said.
