STILLWATER, Okla.Â— Oklahoma State baseball returns to action after a nine-day layoff to take on Oral Roberts tomorrow night at 7 p.m. at Reynolds Stadium.

The Cowboys and Golden Eagles will play for the first time since the 2002 season. ORU is 30-16 on the year after sweeping a four-game set with Centenary in Mid-Con conference action over the weekend.

Oklahoma State is 30-18 after dropping two of three to Texas A&M in College Station on April 29-May 1.

The Cowboys lead the all-time series 31-24 and have won three of the last five contests. Former Cowboy hurler Rob Walton is in his second year as the head man at ORU and he is assisted by two other OSU baseball alums in Ryan Folmar and Todd Shelton.

Tomorrow's game is the Stillwater Chamber of Commerce's Industry Appreciation Night as well as Cowboy Baseball Senior Night. Oklahoma State will recognize five seniors (David Bacon, Jeff Parrish, Mike Phinney, Scott Richmond and Rusty Ryal) prior to the contest.
