Game 1: Saturday, March 28, 2 p.m.■ The Oklahoma State Cowboys started their Friday night ace, Andrew Oliver, against the UNLV Rebels Tuesday night, according to Ocolly.com:
Game 2: Sunday, March 29, 2 p.m.
Game 3: Monday, March 30, 1 p.m
Cowboy starter Andrew Oliver was pulled after two innings and allowing a run and three hits.■ The Cowboys think Wednesday's 15-1 drubbing of UNLV will help prepare them for MU, too:
Anderson said the coaching staff wanted to get Oliver a few innings against the Rebels (13-9) and pulling him early was planned.
“(Oliver) was just going to throw a couple innings to get his mental work and get him ready to throw on Friday,” Anderson said. “Thomas was really good to finish the game off, I think.”
Kroll’s performance served as the launching pad for the Cowboys, who after struggling early, manufactured runs almost effortlessly with sacrifice bunts and
line drives as they rounded the bases with precision, allowing the Cowboys to sit starting pitcher Lyons after three innings to rest for their series this weekend against Missouri.
Lyons said the victory was a good confidence booster as the Cowboys prepare for their home Big 12 opening series this weekend. He said games in which the team scores that many runs can sometimes be hard on a pitcher, especially when the temperature is dropping. However, the Cowboys’ ability to generate runs allowed the team to rotate several pitchers to keep its arms fresh for the weekend.
