STILLWATER — Members of Oklahoma State’s 1959 national championship team signed autographs on the concourse before the game. Cowboy legend Pete Incaviglia threw out the first pitch.
All that was missing from a glorious Sunday celebration at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium was a Cowboy victory.
West Virginia (19-12, 4-5 Big 12) scored three runs in the final two innings to close the door on a 4-2 victory, holding OSU (19-11, 6-3) to four hits and taking two of three games in the series.
“That game was sitting on a platter for the taking through innings two, three, four, five and six,” said OSU catcher Colin Simpson, who gave OSU a 2-1 lead with a home run in the first inning.
