Oklahoma State continued its power display into the second inning as Garrett Shull, Alex Conover, and Thompson each hit home runs to extend their team’s advantage to 6-1. Kansas narrowed the deficit slightly in the top of the third when Jordan Bach hit a solo home run, making it a 6-2 contest before weather stopped play.
Baldridge’s home run marked his sixth of this season while Bach recorded his fifth homer.
