The Cowboys are now 18-21 overall and 6-11 in Big 12 play, while UC improved to 24-19 and 10-10 in the league.
Cincinnati outhit the Cowboys by a 17-4 margin to clinch the series win.
OSU took the game’s initial lead in its first at bat, going up 1-0 on a sacrifice fly by Colin Brueggemann.
But the Bearcats answered in the bottom of the first, plating four runs on five hits to take a 4-1 advantage.
An RBI double by Beau Sylvester in the second cut OSU’s deficit in half, but UC got the run back in the bottom of the frame to make the score 5-2.
Sylvester’s double would be OSU’s lone hit until the eighth inning. With the Cowboys trailing 6-2, a leadoff walk and two singles loaded the bases with no outs. Following a pop out, Brueggemann slashed a two-RBI double to left field to cut the UC lead to 6-4.
But with a pair of runners in scoring position and one out, Christian Mitchelle took the mound and retired the next two Cowboys to escape further damage.
Once again, UC would answer in the bottom of the inning as the Bearcats struck for five runs on three hits against three different Cowboy pitchers to extend their lead to 11-4.
Sunday’s series finale is scheduled for a 12 p.m. (CDT) first pitch.
