After a shaky first game, OSU will live to see another day in the Big 12 tournament.
And the Cowboys have Roman Phansalkar to thank.
On Friday afternoon, No. 4 seed OSU took down No. 1 seed TCU by a score of 8-4 to stay alive in the race for the Big 12 title.
The Cowboys got a punch to the mouth early, trailing 3-0 after two innings of action, leaving four runners on base during that span.
The Horned Frog offense was all over starting pitcher Mitchell Stone, creating contact on nearly every at bat and limiting him to just one strikeout in two innings.
