🎥 OSUMAX: A TRUE COWBOY

Success on the baseball diamond is nothing new for OSU.

The man who built that foundation on which the Cowboys stand
today is none other than Gary Ward.

There’s no better way to get ready for another regional in Stillwater
than checking out a three-part sitdown with Coach Ward.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Manic Monday. Nothing held back. Leave it all on the field.

That’s the plan for the OSU baseball team who is set to square off with Florida this afternoon in a winner-take-all regional final, for the right to advance to Super Regionals.

Awaiting the winner is a trip to Clemson to battle in a three-game set with the Tigers.

The Pokes earned a spot after blitzing through the first two games of NCAA regionals with wins over Niagara (19-7) and Florida (7-1), before dropping a 5-2 decision to Florida on Sunday night to set up the winner-take-all Monday.

🔺 Showin’ Out. With the new era of Cowboy wrestling underway, the Pokes showed out among some of the country’s best this weekend in Geneva, Ohio.

In total, three Cowboys placed top-six in freestyle as Oklahoma State's contingent of wrestlers wrapped up action at U23 Nationals and the U20 World Team Trials Sunday afternoon.

Competing at 92 kg, Christian Carroll made the deepest run of any Cowboy registered in the U23 age group as he went on to finish third.

🔺 A Year To Remember. While the disappointment may still sting, the 2024 OSU softball will always carry history with them as the Cowgirls extended the program record streak by reaching a fifth straight WCWS.

Over the weekend, OSU suffered a narrow loss to #4 Florida, before falling to Stanford in an elimination game.

The Cowgirls posted 49 wins on the year, the third-most in program history and the most in the Coach Gajewski era. 

🎥 OSUMAX: BARRY, BARRY, BARRY!

A two-part OSU Max Original, Barry Sanders: Out of Nowhere, tells the story of how Barry became Barry, weaving through his childhood in Wichita and the pivotal moments that shaped his legendary career. 

Through exclusive interviews with his family, close friends,
former teammates, coaches and Barry himself,
Barry Sanders: Out of Nowhere provides an
unprecedented glimpse into the Cowboy icon. 

🤔 COWBOY TRIVIA

The story of the weekend came on Saturday when Brian Holliday put together a DOMINANT performance on the mound in a complete game effort.

It was Holliday’s second-straight complete game and third of the season, it also included yet another double-digit strikeout performance.

How many double-digit strikeout outings does Holliday have this season?
