STILLWATER – Oklahoma State pitcher Trey Cobb counts the times he's smiled on a baseball field with the fingers needed to snap off his signature slider.
There was twice last June, when the Cowboys won the NCAA Super Regional at South Carolina, with Cobb recording the final nine outs; then again at the College World Series when he closed out a 1-0 win over Arizona.
And then there was Saturday.
That's when Cobb returned to the mound for the first time since OSU's run ended in Omaha, providing 1 1/3 innings of solid work in an eventual 5-3 loss to West Virginia.
