Box Score

STILLWATER, Okla.-Each team had a pair of homeruns, but it was No. 13 Oklahoma State (29-11) that would come out on top against Wichita State (30-8) Wednesday night in Stillwater, Okla.

Wichita State's Andy Dirks wasted no time, putting the Shockers ahead, 1-0, with a lead off solo home run to start the game.

Oklahoma State took the lead in the bottom of the third before an hour and 20-minute rain delay ensued. Davis Duren reached on a standup double blasted into the gap in right-center. With two outs, Jordy Mercer traded places with the runner with a double of his own and a Matt Hauge single to left field moved Mercer all the way home. The Cowboys were up, 2-1, before lightening was spotted and the tarp covered the field.

Matt Gardner returned to the mound after the break and Dusty Coleman manufactured a run off the senior right-hander, to knot it at two in the top of the fourth. Coleman doubled to the left field corner and took third and home on two-straight wild pitches.

Dirks hit his second homer of the game and his sixth of the year with a solo shot to right field in the sixth, putting WSU ahead, 3-2.

OSU struck back with a homerun of their own in the seventh, but Mercer's was a two-run bomb, as Duren had reached on a bunt single.

Donnie Webb took reliever Andy Womack's first pitch long for the Cowboys' second home run of the game in the eighth.

The Shockers went quickly and quietly in the ninth as Robbie Weinhardt sat down three consecutive batters on strikes.

Tim Kelley started the game and allowed the first two runs before the delay knocked him out of the game. Logan Hoch had a career-high eight strikeouts and no walks in four innings of work, but one bad pitch gave up two earned runs.

Wichita State takes to the road for a weekend conference series against Indiana State. The Shockers face the Sycamores in Terre Haute, Ind., starting Friday night at 5 p.m.
