For only the second time in 17 games this season, an opponent walked into O’Brate Stadium in Stillwater and dealt the No. 17 Oklahoma State Cowboys a loss and it was the red-hot No. 21 Texas Longhorns on Friday night in a 5-3 win.
Oklahoma State got on the board early and the Texas went rather silent late with no runs scored in the final five innings, but in between it was the Longhorns delivering the game’s key blows. After the Cowboys used a walk and two singles in the second off left-hander Lucas Gordon to score a run on a fielder’s choice, Texas delivered three crucial runs in the third when right fielder Dylan Campbell doubled with one out down the left-field line and catcher Garret Guillemette followed with a two-run shot to dead center field, his fourth home run in the last five games after going the first 22 games without a long ball.
