Tyler Blandford allowed only three hits over eight-plus innings while fanning 11 as Oklahoma State beat Nebraska 6-3 Sunday afternoon at Haymarket Park.

Oklahoma State (15-7, 1-2 Big 12) took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second on Davis Duran’s RBI single before the Huskers tied it in the bottom of the frame on Nick Sullivan’s RBI single.

The Cowboys came back against NU starter Michael Mariot, stringing together four hits in the top of the third to extend the margin to 4-1 after run-scoring singles from Kevin David and Dean Green and a sacrifice fly off the bat of Doug Kroll. Mariot (1-2) took the loss, allowing four runs on eight hits over three innings of work.

Nebraska pulled to within 4-2 in the sixth after scoring a run without a base hit. Kyle Bubak reached on a one-out walk, stole second and came around to score after two wild pitches from Blandford, including one that kept the inning alive after he struck out Adam Bailey for the third out of the inning.

Green belted a two-run homer off reliever Sean Yost in the seventh to make it 6-2 and Sullivan homered for Nebraska (14-7-1, 3-3 Big 12) in the home half of the inning. Sullivan went 2-for-4 and drove in two runs.

“It was a tough day for us, you have to give him (Blandford) a lot of credit,” said Nebraska Coach Mike Anderson. Blandford improved his record to 4-0.
