STILLWATER, Okla. -- Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury never really considered going for a 2-point conversion and the victory, feeling confident his team could prevail in overtime.The game never got that far.Clayton Hatfield missed the extra point after Quinton Whites 1-yard scoring run with 1:39 left, and No. 17 Oklahoma State escaped with a 45-44 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday.We had the momentum, Kingsbury said. I liked what we were doing offensively, I liked what we were doing defensively, so I felt great about going to overtime. Our team handled it the last time very well, so that was the plan.Texas Tech (4-6, 2-5 Big 12) appeared to have overcome a 10-point fourth quarter deficit when White spun into the end zone on third-and-goal from the 1, but Hatfields kick sailed wide right, leaving the Red Raiders down by one.I thought they would go for two, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. If you look at it from his point of view, 2-point conversions are about 33 percent effective. But it would not have surprised me.After Oklahoma State (8-2, 6-1, No. 13 CFP) recovered the onside kick attempt, the Cowboys marched quickly into the red zone, and resisted Techs attempts to let them score before running out the clock.It hurts, it definitely hurts, said Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the nations leading passer, who completed 34 of 51 passes for 344 yards and three touchdowns. We had a lot of chances to win, but they found a way to win, we didnt. Its kind of like the whole season. It hurts, but were going to go out there and fight. Weve got two games to get bowl eligible.Mahomes also rushed for two touchdowns, giving him 12 and setting a new Texas Tech single-season record for a quarterback, surpassing the previous mark of 10 set by Rodney Allison in 1976.For Oklahoma State, Mason Rudolph threw for 395 yards and two touchdowns on 20-of-28 passing, and also rushed for a touchdown, and Justice Hill had 126 yards and a touchdown on 18 rushes. James Washington registered six receptions for 158 yards, including an 82-yard TD with 6 seconds left in the third quarter that put the Cowboys ahead 45-35.TAKEAWAYTexas Tech: The Red Raiders can run the ball pretty well when they have to or are invited to, and Demarcus Felton needs to get the ball more. Even though he has the leading rusher this season, Felton got a total of one carry over the previous three games, but he came up with 77 yards on 10 rushes before leaving in the third quarter with an ankle injury, the severity of which was unknown. If hes healthy, hes proven he deserves a bigger role in the offense. He did a good job, Kingsbury said. When youre playing those light boxes, he does a good job finding space.Oklahoma State: The Cowboys kept their hopes of a Big 12 championship alive. They need to win next week against TCU to set up a showdown with No. 9 Oklahoma on Dec. 3 for the conference title. Oklahoma State won for the fourth time this season with a margin of seven points or less.PLAY OF THE GAMETexas Tech had just pulled to 38-35 on Mahomes 7-yard touchdown run with 24 seconds left in the third quarter when Rudolph hurled up a deep pass to Washington on the first play of the next possession. Washington caught the ball at the 50 and raced the rest of the way into the end zone for an 82-yard touchdown, restoring a 10-point lead with 6 seconds left in the third.LAST WORDNo fear, no frustration and no fatigue is what we talk about, Gundy said of his teams ability to win close games. I think there is some truth to them believing in themselves makes a big difference. When you start to win over a period of years, you feel like youre going to win. Your mind is much more powerful than the physical part of your body and we believe in that, so they just play hard and Im proud of them.UP NEXTTexas Tech will next face Iowa State on the road.Oklahoma State continues its quest for a Big 12 title by traveling to Fort Worth to take on TCU.

PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks figured Yasmany Tomas for more of a gap-to-gap type of hitter when they signed him. But in Tomas second major league season, hes found a home run swing.Tomas hit his first career grand slam, and the Arizona Diamondbacks came back from a three-run deficit after squandering a five-run lead to beat the Colorado Rockies 12-9 on Monday night.Tomas had four hits and five RBI, four on an opposite-field slam to right in the sixth inning off Jordan Lyles. Brandon Drury also had four hits, including a solo homer in the seventh for Arizona.In (batting practice) he exhibits more power than anybody. He hits it farther, Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said. Most of the year, hes hitting balls way up on that batters eye. He has it in him. I didnt think it would come this quickly.Lyles (4-5) got the first two outs of the sixth with the Rockies ahead 9-6. Then he gave up consecutive singles to Drury, Paul Goldschmidt and Welington Castillo before Tomas connected.Tomas matched his career high for hits in a game. His 29 home runs lead the Diamondbacks this season.Mitch Hanigers first major league home run also came in the Diamondbacks seventh. Randall Delgado (4-1) was credited with the win despite retiring only one of the four batters he faced in the sixth, and Daniel Hudson earned his third save.Just trying to keep it simple and swing at good pitches, said Haniger, who struck out his first three times up. That was a good comeback. We got off to a good lead early and then lost it, but it was a good finish. It shows a lot about the guys in this clubhouse.Arizona, with 16 hits on Monday, has 10 or more in 12 consecutive games against the Rockies. That makes the Diamondbacks the first NL team since the 1932 Brooklyn Dodgers to have a 12-game streak of 10-plus hits against a single opponent in one season.Daniel Descalso homered and drove in three runs, and Carlos Gonzalez doubled three times and added three RBI for the Rockies. Colorados 15 hits included four for Gonzalez and three for Nolan Arenado and Charlie Blackmon.Arenados two-run single in the sixth gave Colorrado a 9-6 lead after Descalso opened the inning with a solo shot.dddddddddddd The Rockies trailed 5-0 going into the fourth inning.Charlie and DJ (LeMahieu) have been getting on base and doing their thing most of the year if not all year, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. When they do that, Nolan and CarGo are swinging the bats and we will score some runs like we did tonight. But youve got to keep them from scoring, too.Diamondbacks starter Shelby Miller helped himself with the bat, doubling and scoring on a sacrifice that resulted in pitcher Tyler Andersons throwing error in the fourth. But the Rockies drew even at 6 in the fifth on Gonzalezs two-out, two-run double followed by a soft single by Raimel Tapia that scored Gonzalez.That was all for Miller, who started strong by getting the first nine outs in order but ended up allowing six runs and nine hits.There was a lot of high fastballs that most guys cant get on top of, that they were getting on top of and hitting very hard, Hale said. Its tough to give up the runs, but it was good to see his arm was working well.Anderson yielded five earned runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out seven, walked two and failed to last five innings for just the second time in 17 starts this season.JUMPING RIGHT INArizona native Will Claye, the triple jump silver medalist at the Rio Olympics, attended the game and caught one of three pitching-machine pop flies during a between-innings break.STREAKINGLeMahieu had two hits and reached base safely for the 29th consecutive game since Aug. 9, a career high.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks OF A.J.
