Around the nation,
numerous junior college,
small college and major
college baseball teams have
opened the 2019 season
or are preparing to open
the season. Several ros-

Cowboys open the season
Friday, Feb. 15, at the
University of Texas-Rio
Grande Valley in Edin-
burg, Texas, former Pioneer
Dylan Gardner will be com-
peting for playing time.
Gardner, a 5-8 soph-
omore infielder, is in a
battle for playing time at
second base after playing
in 25 games for O-State last
season as a freshman. The
left-handed hitter started six
games. His best outing last
season was a two-hit effort
in a win at Oklahoma.
Former Pioneer Abe
Spencer, a 5-10 junior
pitcher for Oklahoma Chris-
tian University, helped the
Eagles td an early 3-0 start
but his contribution came as
a designated hitter.
In Oklahoma Chris-
tian season-opening 6-5
extra-inning win over Pitts-
burg State last weekend,
Spencer made the most
of his DH opportunities.
He walked with the bas-
es-loaded to drive in the
Eagles' first run. In the
bottom of the 11th inning, he
was hit by a pitch with the
bases loaded to send home
the winning run.

and Central Oklahoma in
the Edmond First Pitch
