Raphael Pelletier broke the game open in the bottom of the second inning when he turned on a 2-1 inside fastball from Oklahoma State right-hander Brian Holiday and crushed a home run off the scoreboard in right field. In the bottom of the fourth inning, he sent a 3-2 inside fastball over the right field wall, and the ball nearly hit the scoreboard again.

Pelletier wreaked havoc in K-State's 7-2 win over No. 15 Oklahoma State on Saturday — a victory that gave the Wildcats their first series win over the Cowboys in 14 years.

And Pelletier wasn't finished.

In the sixth inning, he doubled down the right field line on a 3-2 count and later scored when David Bishop drove him in when he belted a long single to left field.

Pelletier finished 3-for-4 with two RBI and three runs scored against the Cowboys on Saturday.

"First home run was a fastball, low and in, and I just saw it and hit it hard," Pelletier said. "Second home run, same thing. They tried to throw the fastball by me. I was ready for it. It feels good. It's a confidence boost.

"You feel untouchable at the plate."
