Kenny Gajewski was at Cowgirl Stadium on Friday to prepare to Oklahoma state softballopen from the series against Houston forest fire started to escape on the west side of Stillwater.
Pushed by winds blowing at 70 mph, fires have spread to neighborhoods and caused compulsory evacuations in the city.
In the middle of Friday afternoon, the OSU had moved the match from Friday to Saturday, but several hours later, the matches on Friday and Saturday had been canceled.
“It had a cocoded feeling,” said Gajewski.
Sunday, the cowgirls and the cougars had a single match, a 3-0 Victory for OsuBut this truncated series could have an impact on the conference race later in the season.
The OSU, one of the teams that should cope with the league crown, will have two less games in Big 12. In a spring outdoor sport, schedule changes sometimes occur because of the weather, but the teams generally make up the games.
It does not seem that Osu and Houston reproduce these two games.
In addition, the OSU has lost games that would have been played in front of its crowd at home, one of the biggest and best in Big 12.
But everyone around the OSU thought that the cancellations of the game had to be made. Over 70 houses in and around Stillwater have been destroyed by fires.
“It’s just devastating for so many people in this city,” said Gajewski. “I think our girls wear that too. You don’t know what to think. It’s difficult. “
