He released the ball quickly, throwing passes in an average of 2.54 seconds, and avoided mistakes. He distributed the ball to Dallas' playmakers, despite facing a steady dose of blitzes (48.4%). He finished the game 21-of-31 passing for 215 yards with one touchdown. So, he did exactly what we needed him to – give us a chance to hang in there and do something special at the end.Rush - once again - played reliably and proved once more that he is a reliable backup in this Dallas system. “He gave us a shot there late to do something special. He allowed just three hits and a walk in scoreless seventh and eighth innings. Quickly, that momentum shifted, as the Cowboys went three and out in nine pitches in the bottom of the inning.īut Stebens kept the Cowboys close. After Ehrhard’s bunt, Roc Riggio grounded out, and Carson Benge struck out looking. McCroskey added another ORU run in the top of the sixth, but OSU had still woken up its offense. “I got a good pitch to hit, and I hit it.” “I was just trying to get a good pitch to hit and not think too much, and then hit the ball hard,” Mendham said. The OSU crowd, which had been silent much of the night, got to its feet for the first time. First baseman David Mendham hit a two-RBI single to right field to close the gap to three and finally bring runners home.

The Golden Eagles tacked on three runs with two RBI singles and an RBI walk for a 5-0 lead. McLean was pulled after five innings with five runs allowed and four walks, and Isaac Stebens entered in a bases-loaded, no-outs situation. Next, McLean hit Matt Hogan with a pitch.
