Oklahoma State Cancels Saturday Events, Sunday Singles Games for Softball and Baseball
STILLWATER – In the immediate aftermath of a historic outbreak of fires in the area, all of Saturday's scheduled home athletic events at Oklahoma State were canceled.
Impacted events include the following:
- Baseball doubleheader vs. West Virginia
- Softball doubleheader vs. Houston
- Men's tennis match with Utah
Oklahoma State softball and baseball will resume action on Sunday with softball playing at 11:30 am at Cowgirls Stadium. The Cowboys baseball team will host West Virginia in a single game at 1:30 pm inside O’Brate Stadium.
The scheduled three-game series for both sports as Houston was here for three games of softball with the Cowgirls and the Mountaineers here to open up Big 12 baseball play with a three game series. One game for each sport will have to do. Losing the games on Friday to high winds and the fire danger that developed and then losing the games Saturday appropriately due to the damage and climate in the community made it hard. Doubleheaders in both sports were considered but scheduling for the next week made it unrealistic.
I’m not certain about Houston, but West Virginia baseball was relocated to Tulsa on Friday because their hotel was in the evacuation area west of Stillwater. The umpires had the same situation and they were relocated to Ponca City.
