Cowboy Brew Crew
April 15, 2025
Happy Tuesday OSU Fam. It’s a rivalry that spans generations. It’s a rivalry that fills up work places, family outings and much more across the great state of Oklahoma.
Bedlam returns to the diamond for the first time in 2025 when the nationally-ranked Sooners visit O’Brate tonight.
What’s all stirring in today’s Brew? Check it out below!

🎥 OSUMAX: READY FOR BATTLE
Chris McKenzie joined Cowboy Baseball in August 2023, bringing his unique skill
set to Stillwater as the program’s athletic trainer and physical therapist with
over three decades of experience in college and the pros.
Learn more about what he is doing to help make sure the Cowboys are ready
to hit the diamond as he and the players get to work in the "Ready Room".
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Bedlam Battle. For the 350th time in program history, the OSU baseball squad will take on Bedlam.
That’s right, tonight at O’Brate Stadium, OU and OSU will square off for the 350th time, facing off in mid-week non-conference action.
The Cowboys return home to welcome the 12th-ranked Sooners for the first time this year and will look to rely on their stables of arm as OSU enters tonight’s matchup ranked ninth in the country in strikeouts per 9 innings (10.4)
🔼 Playoff Bound. The last time the Detroit Pistons made the playoffs, Cade Cunningham was in high school.
Now, he’s the anchor for the sixth-seeded Pistons, who are set to lock horns with the third-seeded New York Knicks as the NBA playoffs are set to get underway this upcoming weekend.
Cunningham is teamed with another former OSU standout, Lindy Waters III, as the pair look to lead Detroit to its first playoff series victory since 2008.
🔼 Ready To Respond. The 18th-ranked OSU softball team is ready to respond after dropping a tough weekend series to Iowa State as they host Wichita State at Cowgirl Stadium tonight.
So far this season, the magic number has been 4 for the Cowgirls as OSU is a perfect 15-0 when scoring 4+ runs in a game.
First pitch is set for 6 pm.
🔼 Southpaw Slingin’ It. For the second straight week, Harrison Bodendorf took home Big 12 Pitcher of the Week accolades, and this time he added the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week to the stockpile of honors.
Bodendorf was the winning pitcher in the series opener against the 20th-ranked Wildcats as he hurled a 10-inning complete game to earn his Big 12-leading seventh win of the season.
A junior southpaw, Bodendorf became just the eighth Big 12 pitcher since 2003 to work 10 innings in a game and the first since Texas' Austin Wood hurled a conference-record 13 innings in a 2009 NCAA Regional game.
🔼 Tourney Time. The time has come. It’s trophy hunting time.
The OSU women’s golf team is set to join a loaded Big 12 field this week in Hockley, Texas as the first round of the Big 12 Championship gets underway this morning at The Clubs at Houston Oaks.
🎥 OSUMAX: THE GUNSLINGER BATTLE
Spring Football is well underway for the Cowboys and four quarterbacks are in a battle during practice. Returners Garret Rangel, Maealiuaki Smith and Zane Flores are joined by transfer Hauss Hejny as the foursome competes for the coveted starting job.
Hear from all four guys as they aim to make an impact for OSU.
🤔 POKES TRIVIA
