The moment never seems to be too big for Roc Riggio.
Riggio’s RBI single in the eighth inning meant Oklahoma State bested West Virginia 3-2 on Thursday at Globe Life Field in Arlington to advance in the Big 12 Tournament. The Cowboys advance to face the loser of Thursday evening’s Oklahoma vs. Texas Tech game.
With runners on first and second and one out, Riggio — a sophomore from California — got a ball into right field that scored David Mendham from second. The Cowboys ended up leaving the bases loaded that inning, but Riggio’s single was enough support for OSU ace Juaron Watts-Brown, even if the Long Beach State transfer did make things interesting.
