All-Sports Roundup: OSU Golfers Tearing It Up This Summer
Oklahoma State’s non-revenue sports frequently don’t receive enough recognition or coverage, especially in the offseason. At PFB, we have recently renewed our focus on providing you a good look at all OSU athletics across the board. This summer has seen multiple achievements by both OSU teams and alumni. Here are some of the highlights of OSU’s smaller sport teams from the past week.
Baseball
Former OSU pitcher Andrew Heaney played in his first game since his Tommy John surgery more than a year ago:

Tway provided one of the best rounds of the entire tournament on Friday when he shot a 63 and had seven straight birdies.
