OKLAHOMA CITY — After taking Friday off in Oklahoma City, the Cowboys were back in action for the early 9:00 a.m. game against West Virginia in the Big 12 Tournament semifinal.
There was a lot of drama early but without any runs as Oklahoma State left eight runners on base through the first four innings. A lot of credit is due to some gutsy pitching by West Virginia’s freshman right-hander, Kade Stroud.
Stroud lasted career-high 115 pitches without a run. His five and two-third innings and seven strikeouts were also career highs. The freshman right-hander showed a knack for both getting himself into sticky situations and for getting himself out.
