Catcher Colin Simpson celebrates after reaching home plate. The Cowboys dropped a second game to Texas Tech on Saturday at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium.
It was fastball right down the middle. It is the cliché pitch of home runs, and Simpson, a freshman catcher, proved the stereotype true on a 2-0 pitch in the eighth inning of Oklahoma State’s 8-2 loss to Texas Tech on Saturday at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium.
“Off the bat, I thought I got under it more than what I did, and then I touched first base and saw the right fielder wasn’t moving,” Simpson said.
