Maxwell and Cowgirls Adjust Weekend Schedule Due to Weather and Obstacles

STILLWATER – After a 2-0 start to the season last week was cut short in Monroe, La. at the Best in the Bayou Classic now weather, power, water, and travel issues have combined to cancel the Tracy Beard Invitational in Frisco, Texas, so the Oklahoma State softball team has adjusted its schedule. Left-hander Kelly Maxwell was the winner in the circle for both of the Cowgirls season opening wins 

Kenny Gajewski told Pokes Report and Triple Play Sports Radio in an interview that Sports Talk with Robert Allen and Friends that his team will head deeper into Texas.
