TULSA, OKLA. - The Oral Roberts baseball team used the bats to power their way to an impressive 10-6 over Oklahoma State Tuesday night.
 
Will Edmunson continued his hit streak to 10 games behind a pair of doubles and a single in a 3 for 5 effort driving in two runs. 
 
In their only trip to Stillwater the Golden Eagles came out firing scoring twice in the first inning taking advantage of one of four Cowboy errors and Makani Tanaka grabbed an RBI with a single.
 
On the bump it was Conner Johnson getting the start and he did not disappoint throwing 3.0 innings surrendering just three hits, one earned run, one walk, and a season-high seven strikeouts.
 
The Cowboys would cut the two-run lead in half with a solo shot in the third but ORU came back with three more runs in the fourth.  Ethan Fender picked up an RBI single driving in Jack Schark who reached on an error, then moments later it was Edmunson getting back to it with a two-run double to make it a 5-1 game. 
 
OSU put together their best offensive inning in the bottom half scoring twice, and the one more time in the fifth to bring the lead back to one, the closest they would get on the night.
 
In the sixth freshman Owen Coil stayed hot in the designated hitter spot driving in an RBI with a double a part of a multi-hit effort.  Fast forwarding to the eighth and the Oral Roberts offense put the game out of reach scoring four times thanks to a Wailele Kane-Yates RBI single, Keaton Campbell driving in a run on a ground out, Tanaka picking up his second RBI single as well as Fender.
 
The Cowboys would get one more in the bottom of the ninth with their third solo homer of the night but Conner Floyd shut the door as ORU claimed a 10-6 victory, their third win in a row.
