Tyler Wulfert felt the pressure as the moment materialized.
Bottom of the seventh. Tied ballgame. A retrospective pivotal moment in No. 19 Oklahoma State’s 9-3, series-clinching win over Texas Tech on Saturday night.
“Just trying to win the at-bat, one pitch at a time,” Wulfert said. “I was just trying not to let the pressure within the moment get to me.”
Easier said than done.
Most daunting were the parameters within the moment and the consequences that might ensue depending on Wulfert’s at-bat. The tenacity of the 5,602 in attendance at O’Brate Stadium bellowed around home plate.
