Perhaps it was a hangover from Saturday&#8217;s stunning collapse to Arkansas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">But that was just the start of the insanity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The comeback was the capper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Cowboys rallied with 17 runs over a three-inning span to erase what appeared to be an insurmountable deficit and they did not stop there as they stunned Missouri State 29-15 Sunday afternoon in the elimination game of the Stillwater Regional at O&#8217;Brate Stadium .<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">NCAA baseball:<\/strong>Oklahoma State Cowboys vs.  Arkansas Razorbacks score &#038; live updates<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_img\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"gnt_ar_b_h2\">Oklahoma State vs.  Missouri State sets NCAA records<\/h2>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The 29 runs are the most for the Cowboys in an NCAA Tournament game, surpassing the 23 runs in a win over Appalachian State in 1986.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">In that regional, the Cowboys scored 62 runs.  They&#8217;ve scored 51 with at least one game remaining.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">OSU (41-21) had a quick turnaround with a 6 pm first pitch against Arkansas in the regional final opener.  To advance to next weekend&#8217;s super regionals, the Cowboys must beat the Razorbacks twice.<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">But they&#8217;ve proven in less than 24 hours that just about anything is possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Like these numbers:<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u25ba 44: Combined runs, a single-game record in the NCAA Tournament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u25ba 29: Runs, a new NCAA Tournament record in a single game for the Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u25ba 17: Walks a night after the Cowboys walked 11 times against Arkansas.  OSU batters were also hit by four pitches.<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u25ba 26: Hits, doubling the total from Saturday&#8217;s loss to Arkansas.  Roc Riggio and Marcus Brown had five apiece.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u25ba 9: Combined home runs for the two teams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u25ba 122: Pitches for reliever Trevor Martin, a career high.  He did that over 6 \u2154 innings out of the bullpen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u25ba 16: Strikeouts for Martin, also a career high that ties the single-game record set by Derek Brandow in 1992.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u25ba 5:01: The game length, putting the Cowboys on the field for 9 hours and 54 minutes in a 24-hour span with one game to go Sunday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">Blackberries:<\/strong>A cowboy hat.

It was a start.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">In the fourth, Missouri State&#8217;s Grant Wood homered off Trevor Martin, who stabilized the game with 5 \u2154 strong innings of relief, and Drake Baldwin added his second blast in the fifth, but this one a solo shot. <\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Those didn&#8217;t keep OSU at bay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Cowboys scored four runs in the fifth with freshman catcher Ian Daugherty singling in a run, Roc Riggio hitting a two-run blast to center field and Griffin Doersching driving in a run with a single.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Missouri State&#8217;s lead was 14-10 entering the sixth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Then OSU really came alive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Nolan McLean homered to open the seventh, his fourth homer of the regional.  Riggio doubled in another run.  Jake Thompson walked with the bases loaded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Then Doersching welcomed Jared Viertel with a grand slam to right-center field for a 17-14 lead.  It was his second go-ahead grand slam this season, the first coming in a 10-run inning at Texas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">And another comeback was complete.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Cowboys&#8217; season lived at least a few more hours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><em><strong id=\"docs-internal-guid-9542eb05-7fff-9ca9-0229-6d566846f862\">Jacob Unruh covers college sports for The Oklahoman.
