BYU baseball was set to host future No. 6 ranked and future Big 12 rival Oklahoma State at Miller Field this weekend. But that has changed due to inclement weather and cold temperatures in the forecast for Provo this week.
Due to inclement weather and cold temperatures, the BYU-Oklahoma State series scheduled for March 10-12 in Provo is being moved to Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, home of the Texas Rangers.

“We were looking forward to hosting Oklahoma State at Miller Park, but the weather forecast for Provo does not look good this week,” said BYU head coach Mike Littlewood. “We are excited about the opportunity to play at Globe Life Field and appreciate everyone involved in making the move possible. It will be an incredible experience for our players to play in a Major League Baseball facility and should be a great opportunity as we prepare to move into the Big 12.”
