TULSA – Cowboys coach Josh Holliday wouldn’t tip his hand when asked for his choice to pitch Game 1 in the Big 12 Baseball Tournament, suggesting that he and pitching coach Rob Walton were still pondering options.
Then Wednesday delivered a changeup.
Option A: Michael Freeman, the Big 12 Pitcher of the Year? Nope.
Option B: Jon Perrin, the Friday night starter for much of the past two seasons? Huh-uh.
Who then?
Part-time pitcher and regular designated hitter Conor Costello, backed up by reliever Trey Cobb.
Another solid option, it turns out, as Costello gave No.
