SINCE 1957,

Aside from their one-run loss on Sunday, the Cowgirls played another tight contest on Saturday in their 3-2 series-clinching win.

Facing deficits in all three games and entering the series on a five-game winning streak out scoring its opponents 34-7, OSU got a taste of some down to the wire games.

“I don’t know (if there’s a benefit of playing back to back close games),” Gajewski said. “We need to be in these extra inning games and we need to be in tight games, it’s just part of the way it’ll be as we get going on farther into the year.”

Quality pitching

The Cowgirl’s bullpen was nearly perfect over the course of the weekend. In a 5-2 series-opener victory, Kelly Maxwell struck out eleven batters and surrendered just one earned run. The following day, Lex Kilfoyl nearly matched Maxwell with nine strikeouts of her own, and allowed just three hits. In the loss on Sunday, freshman Kyra Aycock and Maxwell combined for eight strikeouts and three earned runs. “I mean, three runs today (Sunday) and two in the other two games, we pitched well enough to win all of these games,” Gajewski said. sports.ed@ocolly.com

The beam is located on the south side of the building, and symbolizes the generations of agriculturalists OSU has seen.

Thomas G. Coon, vice president and dean of OSU Agriculture said he is encouraged by what this means for OSU Agriculture’s future.

“We are not just constructing a new home for

OSU Agriculture — we are building a cutting-edge facility to foster creativity, collaboration and experiences in and out of the classroom,” said Dr. Thomas G. Coon, vice president and dean of OSU Agriculture. “Seeing the progress made each month makes us look forward to the day we can move in and see the eagerness of faculty, staff and students as they experience the capabilities of the new building.”

The New Frontiers Agricultural Hall is set to open in the fall of 2024, four years after construction began in January 2020. The campaign reached its $50 million goal, making it one of OSU’s fastest capital campaigns.

Blaire Atkinson, OSU Foundation president, said she is grateful for Coon’s leadership with the project.

“Even with a historic global pandemic, the project persevered, and Dr. Coon continued to engage with the OSU Agriculture family and connect their passions with opportunities within this facility,” she said. “He harnessed their excitement and invited them to help fulfill our mission to feed the world and meet the needs of a 21st century, pre-eminent land-grant institution.” news.ed@ocolly.com
