The Cowboys won their first two CWS games by scores of 1-0 to reach the bracket final, and they had an 0.71 ERA through their first seven tournament games. Arizona collected 14 hits Friday against what had been the best pitching staff in the NCAA Tournament and defeated the Cowboys 9-3 to stay alive in the College World Series. Bannister, who has pitched a nation-leading 142 1/3 innings, was starting his fifth game of the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats forced a Saturday rematch, with the winner advancing to the best-of-three finals beginning Monday. For the first time in a long time, Oklahoma State's pitching looked vulnerable.
