HOMER SIMPSON

Oklahoma State's Colin Simpson made Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark his personal playground Thursday night.

TankTown Ballpark, if you will.

That's Simpson's nickname — Tank — because he's, well, built like a tank, at 5-foot-9 and 221 pounds. A real throwback catcher.

And a real powerful hitter.

Simpson muscled more late-season momentum for the Cowboys, driving two long home runs in OSU's 8-4 Big 12 Tournament win over West Virginia, putting the Pokes on the brink of Sunday's championship game.

After earning a day off Friday while the losers' bracket plays out, the Cowboys return to action Saturday with two chances to produce one win that would put them in Sunday's finale, which offers the Big 12's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.
