When Oklahoma State coach Josh Holliday walked into O’Brate Stadium Friday morning, in his mind, the environmental elements didn’t favor a home-run-heavy night.
Warm weather. A slight, yet noticeable breeze from the north, which often hinders the probability of pull-side homer for right-handed hitters — the majority of OSU’s lineup
“The park was interesting today,” Holliday said. “The ball really wasn’t carrying today during batting practice. So, I just didn’t think it would be much of a home run hitting night tonight, to be honest with you.”
Wrong.
The No. 19 Cowboys logged seven home runs on Friday night during a series-opening 16-4 win against Texas Tech.
