Men’s Tennis Comes Up Just Short Against Oklahoma State, 4-3 – Princeton University Athletics

STILLWATER, Okla. – The Princeton University men’s tennis team fell just short to Oklahoma State Sunday at the Greenwood Tennis Center, 4-3, on a day highlighted by No. 69 Paul Inchauspe beating the nation’s 21st-ranked player.

“We came up a little short against a well-coached and strong Oklahoma State team,” said Head Coach Billy Pate. “With them being the host of the NCAA final site this spring, they have a tough schedule and are battle tested with experienced players. We pushed hard midway through the singles and had our chances. Unfortunately, and this started with doubles, we simply lost a number of pivotal sudden death points. Those mistakes really had us playing from behind but I’m proud of the fight. Paul had a great win against one of the best players in the country – despite not converting on a match point in the 2nd set. We’ll take these lessons into the ECAC this weekend at Penn and will be ready to battle again on Friday.”

Inchauspe outlasted No. 21 Tyler Zink in an epic three-set battle, 7-6 (7-3), 6-7 (5-7), 6-4 at the No. 1 position. Other winners for the Tigers included Ellis Short at No. 5 who took down Alessio Basile 7-6 (7-5), 7-5 and Aleksandar Mitric, who overcame Francisco Pini at No. 6, 2-6, 6-4, 6-2

Oklahoma Moves up Friday Start Times for Baseball, Softball Games

OU fans hoping to make it to either diamond on Friday will need to get there earlier than expected.

Oklahoma announced on Thursday that its baseball and softball series openers will each begin at 5:30 p.m on Friday.

Game 1 of the No. 14 Sooners’ baseball series against Missouri was scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m., while the No. 1 softball team’s series opener against No. 8 Arkansas was slated for 7 p.m.

In a pair of releases on OU’s athletic website, the reason given for both time changes was “forecasted inclement weather.” According to the National Weather Service, severe weather is supposed to arrive in Norman and its surrounding areas around 8 p.m.

OU’s other baseball games against the Tigers on Saturday and Sunday will remain at their scheduled times (4 p.m. and 2 p.m., respectively). The softball games scheduled for Saturday and Sunday will remain at 7 p.m. and 1 p.m., respectively.

The baseball team’s three-game duel with Mizzou will be OU’s third home series of SEC play. Oklahoma opened conference play by taking two games of three against Texas A&M before dropping two of three to Alabama a few weeks later.

OU has already played three SEC road series. The Sooners won two games of three at LSU in March before getting swept at Texas a week later. Most recently — last week — Oklahoma won two games against Vanderbilt in Nashville.

Oklahoma (24-12 overall, 7-8 SEC) sits in a five-way tie for ninth place in the SEC standings alongside Mississippi State, Kentucky, Tennessee and Vanderbilt.

Missouri, on the other hand, has played its way out of contention.

The Tigers come to Norman 20-17 and 3-12. They earned a road series win against Kentucky two weeks ago, but they followed that up with three losses in a row to fellow conference bottom feeder South Carolina last week. Mizzou has been swept three times — by Auburn, Texas A&M and the Gamecocks — since the start of SEC play.

On the softball side, Oklahoma is ranked No. 1 after taking two games of three against former top-ranked squad Texas. The Sooners, though, dropped their third game in Austin before falling to unranked Oklahoma State at Devon Park in Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

The Sooners are 40-5 overall and 13-2 in conference play. OU currently sits atop the SEC standings, one game ahead of second-place Alabama.

Arkansas comes into the series at Love’s Field on a heater. The Razorbacks (35-6, 10-5) have won six of their last seven contests. Their only series loss of conference play this year came against Alabama, which is ranked No. 3.

Oklahoma police set up sting for stolen property

TULSA, Okla. (KOKH) — One person has been arrested after allegedly trying to sell stolen property on Facebook.

On April 10, an officer with the Tulsa Police Department saw a post on Facebook Marketplace for a projector lens that was stolen from the condemned Promenade Mall.

The lens, which is worth $20,000, was listed for just $500.

The officer used a fake Facebook account to message the seller and arranged a trade for the lens in exchange for a minibike.

Earlier this week, 19-year-old Zachery Scrivner met with the officer and was arrested.

According to the police department, Scrivner said he knew the lens was stolen but decided to try to sell it anyway.
