Oklahoma State ended a five-game skid on Sunday, defeating West Virginia 11-6 at home, but the Cowboys needed a six-run eighth inning to pull it off.
No. 14 OSU dropped games to No. 25 West Virginia on Friday (6-3) and Saturday (9-5) and needed Sunday’s win to keep from falling below .500 in Big 12 play. The Cowboys moved to 24-13 and 8-7 in league play.
Tyler Wulfert went 4-5 and Roc Riggio went 3-5 including his 11th homer of the season helping the Cowboys to their first double-digit run game in nearly a month.
But things got started when Marcus Brown’s three-run bomb in the bottom of the second answered a three-run first from the Mountaineers.
