For the second time on the night, Texas Tech catcher Braxton Fulford stepped into the batter’s box with bases loaded and two outs.
In Oklahoma State baseball’s 2-0 series-opening win at Texas Tech, the experience on the mound proved critical.
A strike down the middle from Oklahoma State closer Brett Standlee established the zone, showing the Cowboys increasing aggressiveness in the pressure-packed moment. The next pitch earned a swing and contact.
The ball sailed to the first base side, but was caught to end the inning.
