The announcement of Oklahoma State’s new baseball stadium came with a wave of hope and optimism, but Friday’s display of fandom and community at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium should be a reminder to enjoy the present while we await the future.
Although the game didn’t start until 8 p.m., 2,224 fans flooded Allie P. for OSU’s Big 12 home opener. Orange and black filled the seats and bleachers, but fans also spread to other areas of the storied ballpark, which opened in 1981, to watch the Cowboys defeat the Horned Frogs 7-6 in 11 innings.
Coach Josh Holliday compared it to their 18-inning victory against Texas in 2015.
