First baseman David Mendham hit a two-RBI single to right field to close the gap to three and finally bring runners home. The Cowboy offense finally sparked in the fifth with a Nolan Schubart single and Tyler Wulfert walk.

The Golden Eagles tacked on three runs with two RBI singles and an RBI walk for a 5-0 lead. McLean was pulled after five innings with five runs allowed and four walks, and Isaac Stebens entered in a bases-loaded, no-outs situation. Next, McLean hit Matt Hogan with a pitch. ORU opened the fifth inning with a double from Quinn. Plenty of opportunities, but nothing to show for. The Cowboys (41-19) stranded at least two base runners in each of those innings – seven total – including five in scoring position. Through four innings, OSU outhit ORU 6-4 but couldn’t bring any of those hits home and faced a two-run deficit. After resuming play, third baseman Tyler Wulfert loaded the bases, but designated hitter Colin Brueggemann grounded out. Meanwhile, the Cowboys entered an hour-long weather delay in the bottom of the third with two outs and two on base.

That’s how much of Friday night went for the OSU offense, which never consistently clicked in a 6-4 loss to Oral Roberts in the Cowboys’ first game of the NCAA Stillwater Regional. The OSU first baseman and leadoff hitter bunts often, but this one went straight up and into the glove of ORU pitcher Caleb Isaacs.Įhrhard got to the dugout and squeezed his helmet in frustration.

Does the breakthrough continue? As long as the game doesn't come down to a PAT kick, you have to figure the Cowboys at least have a chance.Watch Video: Josh Holliday on Tech's recent dominance of OSU before Saturday: 'The Jung family had a lot to do with it.' That last road postseason win was against the 49ers, who now host the Cowboys Sunday night. For a team that hadn't won a road playoff game in 31 years, it was. This Cowboys team wins when it creates turnovers and when Prescott is sharp, and though the Bucs played a little like they wanted put out of the misery, the Cowboys' rush constantly getting to Tom Brady and Prescott continuing to find open receivers in big moments were big parts of that.Īt the two-minute warning, ESPN broadcaster Joe Buck said this felt like a breakthrough win for the Cowboys. Though the Cowboys built a three-score lead in the second quarter and CeeDee Lamb delivered a bit of an exclamation point late, the Cowboys really asserted themselves with their two response drives, one in each half. Dak Prescott got rolling after what looked like a bit of a nervous start, and the Cowboys' pass rush won throughout the night.
There were few nervous moments for the Cowboys, and outside of Brett Maher's PAT misses there weren't many awkward ones.
