ARLINGTON, Texas – Ryan Bogusz was in a challenging situation.
Not only because Texas had runners on first and second base with no outs at last year’s Big 12 Tournament, but because Bogusz was on the mound in the first inning rather than later innings as a relief option for OSU.
It was new, but he had to adapt, with his team – short on available arms – on the verge of elimination. He did just that, retiring the ensuing three batters and escaping the early jam. As he trotted off the mound, his facial expression was stone-cold, as it often is, even after a big moment.
