Cowboy Baseball Releases 2008 Schedule

STILLWATER, Okla. — Nine NCAA Tournament teams from 2007 highlight Oklahoma State's 2008 baseball schedule, which was released today.
“It's a challenging schedule where we're going to face some tough teams at home and on the road,” said head coach Frank Anderson, whose Cowboys are coming off a 42-21 season in 2007 in which they advanced to within one game of the College World Series. “We've got a lot of new players, and this schedule will test us to see how we compete and will also give us a chance to do well in the RPI.”
The Cowboys will play 31 home games at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium. Non-conference highlights include four games against Gonzaga to open the season, a two-game midweek series against Arizona in late March and a showdown against Wichita State on April 23. Arizona was an NCAA Regional team last season, while the Shockers advanced to a Super Regional.
OSU also has some attractive non-conference road outings. The Cowboys will travel to Tampa, Fla., Feb. 28-March 2 to play games against South Florida and Northwestern, and the following weekend they will face four teams in four days at a tournament hosted by San Diego State. That tourney will afford the Cowboys a chance to play a game in PETCO Park, home of the San Diego Padres, and will pit OSU against the likes of San Diego and San Diego State. And on May 7, OSU will travel to Houston to face Rice, which advanced to the College World Series in 2007.
In Big 12 Conference action, Anderson's club will play host to Texas A&M, Nebraska, Kansas and Texas Tech. The Cornhuskers and Aggies were both NCAA Tournament teams a year ago.
The Cowboys open Big 12 Conference play March 14 when they travel to Waco, Texas, to take on Baylor. They also have conference road tests at Kansas State, Missouri and Texas.
Another highlight on the schedule is the annual Bedlam series against Oklahoma. Considered one of the top college baseball rivalries in the nation, the Cowboys and Sooners will open their series May 16 at Drillers Stadium in Tulsa, Okla. The series then shifts to Oklahoma City's AT&T Bricktown Ballpark for the final two games.
The Big 12 Baseball Championships will be held at AT&T Bricktown Ballpark May 21-25, while NCAA Regionals get underway on May 30.
