#30 Kansas State 6 #2 Texas 6
AUSTIN, Texas – Drew Biery’s two-run single in the top of the eighth gave Kansas State a 6-5 lead, but Texas escaped a weekend sweep by plating the tying run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth as the 23rd-ranked Wildcats and second-ranked Longhorns ended Sunday’s game tied 6-6 due to the Big 12 travel rule.
After the dramatic eighth and ninth innings, both teams went down in order in the 10th before the game was called to accommodate Kansas State’s travel plans.
Kansas State now stands at 31-11-1 overall and 10-7-1 in the Big 12 Conference. With the tie, Texas holds a 29-11-1 record overall and a 12-8-1 mark in Big 12 play.

#14 Oklahoma 11 #15 Baylor 8
WACO, Texas — Sweeping a three-game series in the Big 12 Conference is not easy, especially on the road. After winning games one and two at No. 9 Baylor on Friday and Saturday, No. 13 Oklahoma accomplished the feat after it scored eight unanswered runs to come from behind on Sunday for an 11-8 win.
The conference sweep was the first for OU (33-11, 11-7) since taking three from Texas Tech in Lubbock in 2006. The 0-3 weekend for the Bears (25-17, 10-10) was just their third at home since 1998 (Oklahoma State, UC Irvine and Arizona State also completed sweeps).
One week after getting swept at Texas and dropping out of first place into a tie for fourth, OU jumped into second place with the series win.
