With a week of finals behind them the 17th-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys hope to get back on track when they take the field against Bedlam rival Oklahoma at Driller Stadium in Tulsa on Friday. The Cowboys were held in check versus Texas last weekend. The vaulted home lineup was held to just four runs and was the victim of a sweep at the hands of Texas.

The Sooners also struggled on their home field last weekend. OU was beaten by Kansas in the final two games of their series. The one Sooner win came with Stephen Porlier on the mound on Friday. Porlier is having an outstanding season for the Sooners. The Tulane transfer leads the Big 12 in Strikeouts with 79.

Poke fans have no problem remember the drama that took place last year in Bedlam. After completing a regular season sweep of the Sooners, including two shutouts, the coaches of both teams came close to blows in a very heated argument. The Sooners would end up having the last laugh when they scored 14 unearned runs to win 21-6 in a match up in the Big 12 tournament.

Oklahoma State, Brown among weekend's big winners
ESPN - 18 hours ago
Oklahoma State needed a big weekend in the worst way. After being swept at home by Big 12 favorite Texas, the Cowboys were in danger of sliding into the middle of the pack in the conference. With a less than stellar Ratings Percentage Index of 60, OSU needed to finish near the top of the league to have a chance to host a regional and earn a No. 1 or No. 2 seed. Things can turn fast in the Big 12. Just as quickly as Oklahoma State fell out of the race a week ago, they climbed back into the mix with a sweep of rival Oklahoma in the Bedlam Series.

Ty Wright holds up the Bedlam Bell trophy after driving in the winning run against Oklahoma."Playing such a short amount of games in our conference, when you play 27 games, a three-game swing in any direction can change things dramatically," Cowboys coach Frank Anderson said. "It turns 180 degrees in one weekend, and it can continue to do that in either direction. Everybody tries to make more importance out of one series or another, but when you get to the last series, that's the most important one you have."
