Max Brown had four hits, and sixth-seeded Kansas State beat third-seeded Oklahoma 7-3 Wednesday night in their opening game in the Big 12 tournament.
Brown had a leadoff double and scored during a two-run second inning that gave the Wildcats, 27-28, a 3-0 lead. They added two more runs in the third to make it 5-0.
After Oklahoma, 32-26, cut it to 5-2 on homers from Taylor Alspaugh and Anthony Hermelyn in the sixth inning off starter Colton Kalmus (2-4), Brown had a two-out, bases-loaded single to plate a pair of runs in the seventh.
Kalmus allowed six hits and struck out six in 51/3 innings.
