As the sun set on Allie P. Reynolds Stadium and fans stood to sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” for the seventh-inning stretch, the scoreboard displayed no runs.
The Oklahoma State and Missouri State baseball teams engaged in a fast-paced pitching battle, holding each other scoreless through the top of the seventh inning, but the Cowboys secured a 4-2 victory.
Carson Teel, an OSU junior left-handed pitcher from Stillwater, made his first start of the season. Teel notched eight strikeouts, allowed only three hits and prevented the Bears from scoring one run. With his steady arm and consistent focus through seven innings, he tallied the win in the game that shattered the Cowboys’ (9-8) four-game losing streak.
