OSU-OU: Rebel's Yell and no mercy for Mercer

By Tristan Threlkeld - May 04, 2007

The Oklahoma State Cowboys and their fans are elated to yell like Billy Idol intended after Rebel Ridling hit a 2-run line drive homerun in the bottom of the seventh inning to tie the game at 7-7. With that said, Cowboy sophomore Jordy Mercer hit an out of sight deep into the Tulsa skyline for his fourth homerun of the season to give OSU the lead 8-7.

Well folks, I may be young but I have seen a lot of baseball and I have not seen a team that looked ultimately defeated to have this type of comeback in hand. Well it's only the top of the eight and in the words of Texas Longhorns head coach Augie Garrido "hey, that's baseball." Well Augie's right and the game is yet to finish, so who knows what will happen from here.

The Cowboys are now on their fifth pitcher. Justin Friend came in for relief of Brandon Adams in the top of the eighth to shut down the side for only the second time this game.
