STILLWATER, OKLA. ? The Kansas University baseball team drilled six home runs Saturday – and didn’t even finish atop that statistical category in the final box score.
Instead, Oklahoma State answered with eight dingers to collect a 19-7 victory in a Big 12 Conference slugfest.
The 14 homers set a conference record and are the fourth most ever hit by two teams during an NCAA Division I game.
Erik Morrison, John Allman, Ritchie Price, Jared Schweitzer, Dylan Parzyk and Kyle Murphy each homered for the Jayhawks (24-15 overall, 6-8 Big 12). However, all but Parzyk’s two-run blast in the ninth were solo shots.
That allowed Cowboys left-hander Brae Wright (4-2) to stick around for 81â3 innings and earn the win.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma State (21-11, 5-6) tagged KU starter Ricky Fairchild (4-4) for 10 runs in just three innings of work.
The two teams will meet in the series finale at 1 p.m. today.
