Kansas is one step closer to the Big 12 championship game.
The No. 6 seed Jayhawks downed the No. 2 seed Oklahoma State Cowboys 5-3 for their second straight victory at the Big 12 Tournament on Friday at Bricktown Ballpark. They are now one win away from playing for an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament.
Reaching the postseason was their top goal before arriving in Oklahoma City. It remains within reach thanks to a key home run from Tucker Tharp, a timely RBI single from Alex Suiter and the composure of closer Jordan Piche, who stymied Oklahoma State’s comeback chances in the final two innings for his 11th save.
Kansas took a 1-0 lead in the first inning and held it until the top of the fifth behind the quality pitching of starter Wes Benjamin, but Oklahoma State quickly took a 2-1 lead after chasing him and held a 3-2 lead after six innings.
