The series was played on the final weekend of April, but it feels like a season has passed since the Oklahoma State baseball team was last in Lubbock, Texas.
Beginning Friday, the ninth-seeded Cowboys play a best-of-three NCAA super regional at Texas Tech, returning to Rip Griffin Park, where their last visit resulted in a series sweep at the hands of the Red Raiders.
It damaged OSU’s run at the Big 12 regular-season title with five losses in a span of eight conference games.
But the Cowboys are 14-3 since that Lubbock series, and in some ways, because of it.
