Cowboys Sweep Doubleheader against UNC-Wilmington
Make it 20 wins for the Pokes.
Oklahoma State topped UNC-Wilmington twice Saturday afternoon in O’Brate Stadium, winning 7-6 and 10-3. The Cowboys held 7-0 leads in both games before the Seahawks attempted comebacks.
In Game 1, the Cowboys built their 7-0 lead off multiple-RBI performances from Max Hewitt, Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Carson McCusker, but OSU almost fell apart in the ninth, where UNC-Wilmington scored five runs before Brett Standlee closed the door.
Game 2 was a less stressful outing for the Cowboy faithful, with the Cowboys in charge from start to finish.
The two teams finish their three-game series at 2 p.m. Sunday. Here are a few takeaways from Saturday’s games.
