STILLWATER, Okla. – The Oklahoma State softball team will host Wichita State in a midweek battle at Cowgirl Stadium on Wednesday, with first pitch set for 6:30 p.m.

The Cowgirls are coming off a doubleheader split with Dartmouth last week in Oklahoma State's home opener, as OSU defeated the Big Green, 8-0, before falling in the second half of the twin-bill, 5-2. Oklahoma State will continue a seven-game home stand this weekend as it hosts the Mizuno Classic, which will run from Friday to Sunday at Cowgirl Stadium.

Wednesday's matchup versus Wichita State will be broadcast live via the OSU Athletics YouTube channel. Live stats for all Oklahoma State softball games can be found on okstate.com, and fans can catch play-by-play action on Twitter at @CowgirlSBPXP.

What to Watch For
With three home runs this season, senior Tiffany Mikkelson is inching closer and closer to the career record at Oklahoma State. Mikkelson needs five to tie the record, which stands at 32, and six to break it. Look for the Aliso Viejo, Calif., native to add on to that tally with five games scheduled in the next five days.

Oklahoma State's pair of transfer pitchers have produced effective outings early in the 2016 season. Shea Coats, who came in from Oklahoma Christian over the summer, registered a win over No. 9 Washington on Saturday in her first career start with the Cowgirls. UTSA transfer Kacy Freeze leads the team in innings pitched and strikeouts, and tossed a one-hit, complete game shutout against Dartmouth on March 4.

Season tickets for the 2016 Cowgirl softball season are now available, starting at $50 for general admission seating and $75 for seats in the reserved lower level. Tickets can be purchased by phone at 877-ALL-4-OSU, at the OSU Athletics Ticket Office or online at http://okla.st/SoftballSeasonTickets-2016.
