NORMAN – Tyler Wulfert didn’t hesitate.
The Oklahoma State third baseman said he felt a big at-bat coming. He stared at Oklahoma pitcher Will Carsten, awaiting his next pitch. Bases loaded. Top of the first inning. One out.
Then, on a 1-0 count, Wulfert swung on a hanging breaking ball from Carsten, launching it off the barrel of his bat with full force. It sailed toward the center-field wall at L. Dale Mitchell Park, bouncing off the upper section and scoring two runs for OSU.
Although he’d come inches short of a grand slam, Wulfert said that in the moment, his 2-RBI double sufficed.
