TULSA, Okla. – The Oral Roberts baseball team dropped their fourth straight contest Wednesday evening as they fell to No. 9 Oklahoma State, 9-4, in midweek action at J.L. Johnson Stadium.

Two-way player, AJ Archambo shined once again at the plate for the Golden Eagles, going 2-for-3 at the dish with an RBI. On the season, Archambo is now 9-for-13. 

After the Cowboys opened the scoring in the second with a solo home run to right, Archambo had the answer for ORU in the bottom of the frame. The senior poked a single into left, plating Jackson Loftin to level the score at 1-1.

Oklahoma State quickly answered as Chase Adkison led off the third with a solo shot to left-center, allowing the Cowboys to regain the lead, 2-1. OSU plated two more runs in the frame to take a 4-1 advantage. 

In the sixth, Oklahoma State tacked on four more runs to their total, all unearned, to stretch their lead to 8-1. A sacrifice fly in the seventh by Jaxson Crull brought home the final run of the game for OSU, making the score 9-1.

Caleb Denny ripped a two-out, two-run double to right-center in the eighth to trim the Cowboy lead to 9-3. The double scored Mac McCroskey and Jake McMurray, who reached on back-to-back walks.

An RBI groundout by Connor Beichler in the ninth plated Blake Shannon and made the final tally 9-4 in favor of OSU.
