The home run for Osoria was one of three he would hit on the afternoon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The game remained 3-2 KU, until the third inning when Connor Shouse doubled to lead off the inning and came around to score on a wild pitch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">After KU struck for three runs on a two-run home run from Osoria and an RBI double from Dylan Schlotterback, Tech pulled to within 6-5 on a two-run home run by Robin Villeneuve.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">With two outs and a runner on first, KU got a third-straight home run from Osoria to take an 8-5 lead to the bottom of the fifth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">In the home half of the fifth, Tech got a pair of doubles from Shouse and Freshman Linkin Garcia to cut the KU lead to 8-6, but KU used three runs in the sixth, two in the seventh and five in the eighth to close out the run-rule win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">In the setback, Tech left fielder Logan Hughes took a rare 0-for-4 as the outfielder saw his 18-game on-base streak to open the season snapped.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Despite the loss, the Red Raiders did close the 15 games homestand at 12-3.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">UP NEXT:<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The Red Raiders will look to bounce-back on Tuesday night when they open a four-game road trip at DBU. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2026 KCBD.
