OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Tommy Whiteman went 4-for-4 as Oklahoma completed a three-game sweep of Oklahoma State with a 7-5 win Sunday at the Bricktown Ballpark.

It was Oklahoma's first regular season series sweep of the Cowboys since 1976.

Whiteman hit two doubles and scored three runs for the Sooners (31-15, 14-7 Big 12), who overcame four errors in the game.

The Cowboys (27-17, 9-12) were sparked offensively by Jimbo McAuliff, who went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBIs.

OSU's Carlos Gautreaux went 2-for-4 and scored three times.

But the Cowboys could not keep pace with the Sooners, who collected 10 hits including Jeff Bajenaru's seventh home run of the season.

Bajenaru played right field and came into pitch in the eighth inning to pick up his 15th save.

Austin Coose (4-5) came into pitch five innings for the win after starter Michael Bradbury lasted just 2 1/3 innings.

Oklahoma State's Quenten Patterson (0-1) got the loss after coming on in the fourth for starter Frank Bludau. Bludau gave up four earned runs in three innings of work.
