STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) -- Brian Kirby and Kyle Washburn had three hits each Tuesday night and Arkansas used a six-run third inning to help get past Oklahoma State, 10-8.

Washburn and Bryan King each had two-run singles in the third inning, when the Razorbacks (14-12) also took advantage of two walks, a balk, a wild pitch and a catcher's interference call.

Arkansas led 8-1 after six innings. Single runs in the seventh and eighth proved to be the difference, as Oklahoma State (14-9)scored twice in the seventh and five times in the eighth.

Jeremy Rankin (2-0), the second of six Razorback pitchers, got the victory and Mitch Tisher worked the ninth inning for his second save.

Oklahoma State starter Clint Salisbury (2-2) was the loser, allowing five runs in 2 1/3 innings. Roy York had two hits and Jimbo McAuliff had a solo homer for the Cowboys.
