Cade Cabbiness refused to focus on the past as he stood at the plate and took a swing, drilling the baseball into the right-center-field gap.
It was his only hit through Oklahoma State’s three games against BYU, but it was the one that put the Cowboys at ease on the day they sealed the series sweep. OSU powered past the Cougars 8-3 on Saturday afternoon at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium, and Cabbiness added the Cowboys’ last three RBI.
Cabbiness, a senior right fielder, stepped up to bat in the seventh inning with the bases loaded. In the series, he hadn’t reached a base until he drew a walk in the sixth inning Saturday, but he has learned how to work through times when his at-bats don’t have the outcomes he wants.
