OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Jake Thompson drew a bases loaded walk in the top of the ninth and No. 4-seed Oklahoma State beat top-seeded Texas 5-4 on Saturday to secure a trip to the Big 12 Tournament championship game.
The Cowboys (35-16-1) will face the winner between second-seeded TCU and No. 7-seed Kansas State in Sunday’s finale. Oklahoma State has won all three of its games in the tournament and currently are on a five game winning streak.
