OKLAHOMA CITY — With his head down, Justin Campbell started his deliberate walk to the dugout before the inning’s final out was even recorded.
Oklahoma State topped Oklahoma 9-5 in the first round of the Big 12 tournament Wednesday night (and Thursday morning) in Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. Campbell, a freshman pitcher from Simi Valley, California, threw six innings where he didn’t allow a run on just three hits while walking one and striking out seven. He takes intense walks from the mound to the dugout, sometimes coming when a flyball is still in the air for the third out.
