‘Playing it for him’

During a breakout season, Oklahoma State’s Carson Teel keeps his late grandfather on his mind and his mound.

Grandfather never far from Teel’s thoughts Nath a n R uiz Invest igat iv e E di tor @ N atha nSR u iz

Carson Teel finishes warming up on the mound he always dreamed of pitching on. He wanders behind it, pulls the glove off his right hand and removes his hat. Bent at the waist, he uses his right index finger to scribble three letters in the dirt.

They’re a reminder there is more to life than baseball, the game Carson has always loved. They’re a reminder to have fun, something he does so well. They’re a reminder this is his first season without his storyteller, his racing rival and his mentor.

Carson writes “GPA” in the mound, shorthand to keep his grandpa, Travis, on his mind. It’s a private tribute he hasn’t told his family about.

“It’s the first thing that crosses my mind,” Carson said. “Just going out there every game, playing it how it should be played.

Playing it for him.”

Travis died Dec. 2 at

94.

Carson, a Stillwater native, has become a critical member of Oklahoma State’s bullpen, his grandfather never too far away.

The same three letters are written on the brim of his cap. After writing them on the mound, he stares at them in his hat.

Shortly after a seven-

inning, 10-strikeout performance in relief against Missouri State on March 7, Carson and his grandmother, Vena, spoke on the phone.

“Carson, your grandpa would’ve been so excited,” Vena said. “Your grandpa would’ve been so proud of you.”

Carson’s response

nearly brought Vena to tears.

“I think of him every time I go to the mound.”

Home and heart

“Is that Carson?”

Whenever the phone rang, Travis asked Vena the same question.

It was a relationship built every summer, when

Carson and his cousins spent a week or two at their grandparents’ Dill City farm. Travis told him stories from his youth. A World War II veteran, he would have fought in the Battle of the Bulge if not for an injury. Carson, the youngest of the 10 grandchildren, sat back, drank a Dr Pepper and listened to Travis while he fed the cows.

“He always told us stories,” Carson said. “Always sang us little funny songs.”

In a vacant lot north of the farm, Carson and his older brother, Trevor, played in their own version of “The Sandlot,” only feet from the home where their father grew up.

BOYCE SHEPHERD LAW

One day, five of the cousins strolled out to the lot. Carson, then 3, took grounders from Trevor, seven years his senior. By accident, Trevor smacked a line drive toward the toddler.

“I was a little bit scared when I hit it that I was gonna kill him,” Trevor said.

Instead, Carson sidestepped and caught the ball.

A neighbor had stopped to watch the boys.

Carson’s catch left him stunned.

“I’ve never seen a little kid that can play ball like he can,” he told Vena.

“Carson’s just kinda got a natural knack for it, I think,” Vena said.

The only time his parents, Gary and Pam, remember him getting in trouble at school was in first grade, when a teacher complained about him singing too much in class, but Carson was competitive and mischievous when it came to Travis.

They chased each other around the house. With

reminding him to practice his breathing.

“He could get his grandpa to do a lot of things,” Vena said. “He’s just been a real special person.”

STORY Continued from page 2

Gary and Pam at an OSU football game, Carson, no more than 5, challenged Travis to a race up their driveway. Travis tripped and ended up in the emergency room, the tale a favorite among the Teels.

Carson has shown that same liveliness as a member of the Cowboys’ bullpen. Owner of a 2.21 ERA at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium, he’s quick to pump his fist or let out a yell when he pitches out of a jam. The emotion fires up the dugout, providing an early spark for the Cowboys’ bats in the next inning.

When he’s not in the game, he’s the first out of the dugout to greet his teammates walking off the

field, their biggest fan.

“Grandpa was willing to get out, play and have a good time; had a little bit

of playfulness, just like Carson,” Trevor said. “I think that’s partly where he gets that from.”

In 2007, Travis had open-heart surgery. Carson spent his spring break in Dill City helping Travis,

As Carson grew, Travis and Vena did their best to follow along. Living three hours from Stillwater, they came to his basketball and baseball games when they could. Retired, they managed to make more of his games than the other grandkids’. As Travis’ vision faded, Vena told him when Carson made a basket or got a hit.

Grandparent support came from both sides of the family. Carson’s maternal grandfather, John Bateman, was a major

league catcher from 196372. Months before Carson’s first birthday, Bateman gave Gary and Pam some advice.

“Her dad told us to tie his right arm behind his back because ‘Left-handers are worth millions,’” Gary said. “We did not. It just turned out that way.”

Carson grew up imagining Allie P. as one of two venues he would call home in college. The other was Gallagher-Iba Arena. He was a standout at Stillwater High School, earning allstate honors in basketball and baseball before walking on at OSU as a baseball player. Short by pitching standards at 6 feet and weighing 160 pounds, he redshirted his first year.

Cowgirls carry lengthy home winning streak into packed weekend Andy Chen g @A ndy_Cheng1 2 S taff R epo rter

For the Cowgirls, it is another week and another opportunity to put an impressive home record on the line.

The Oklahoma State women’s tennis team looks to extend its undefeated home winning streak with a pair of conference matches against Kansas State at 5 p.m. Friday and No. 23 Kansas at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Michael and Anne Greenwood Tennis Center in Stillwater.

The No. 9 Cowgirls (15-4 overall, 3-1 Big 12) boast a 29-match winning streak at home heading into the

With two victories, Viktoriya Lushkova, an Oklahoma State senior, can become the winningest player in Cowgirl history.

weekend. Their last defeat in Stillwater came March 13, 2015, against then-No. 8 Baylor.

OSU picked up a reassuring bounce-back victory against No. 30 TCU on

Sunday after dropping its first conference match in two years against No. 5 Texas Tech two days earlier. The Cowgirls saw their 16-match winning streak in conference play snapped after the loss

but look forward to starting another one.

“The great thing you learn about your team is what happens when things don’t go your way,” OSU coach Chris Young said. “I feel better about this team than ever before because of the way that we responded from a disappointing loss.”

The Cowgirls have three regular season home matches left: two this weekend and Bedlam on April 14. Young emphasized the importance of finishing strong toward the end of the season and for the senior class to conclude their last season undefeated at home.

“Not losing at home is one of our goals, and we haven’t lost for a couple of years

now,” Young said. “The Greenwood Tennis Center is special because of our fans and how our girls compete at home.”

Sitting one victory behind Linda Faltynkova, who accumulated 94 wins as a Cowgirl from 1999-2002, senior Viktoriya Lushkova has the chance to become the winningest Cowgirl in program history if she can add a couple of wins to her total this weekend.

Lushkova also holds the highest singles ranking in Cowgirl history.

The 20-year-old Ukrainian ranked seventh in the nation in the most recent Intercollegiate Tennis Association Division I women’s tennis singles rankings.

“It’s hard to put in words what Viktoriya has meant for our program.” Young said. “She has done a little bit of everything, and she has done it the right way.

Our program wouldn’t be where it is today without her.”

A pair of Lushkova victories would also contribute to what Young said are always must-win situations in Stillwater.

“We don’t lose at home,” Young said. “That’s just not acceptable for us.”

“He’s a slender kid, but he loves the game,” Vena said.

Unable to compete as a true freshman, he questioned whether he was meant to be an OSU pitcher. A successful summer and direction from pitching coach Rob Walton brought his passion back. He led Cowboy left-handers in appearances and innings as a redshirt freshman.

Travis and Vena tried to watch every OSU game on Vena’s iPad, hoping to see Carson pitch. Attending games at Allie P. was rare.

They had trouble getting in and out of the ballpark, and it was often too cold for them.

But Travis wanted to be in the know. Every Sunday, Gary and Pam called. Travis always had questions about his grandson.

“We never talked to him that he didn’t ask what

Ca r s on T eel Carson was doing and if he could talk to him,” Pam said.

About Christmastime, Carson was out grabbing lunch for himself and Pam when he got a call from Gary. Travis had died, two weeks before Carson’s 21st birthday. The five minutes left on the drive home were torture.

In the same way Travis often thought of Carson, Carson thinks of Travis.

With his grandfather on his mind and on his mound, Carson has blossomed into a key reliever for the Cowboys, a lefty capable of retiring right-handers and pitching multiple innings.

The teammates closest to Carson don’t know what he writes. Outfielder Jon Littell, a teammate in high school as well, has spent plenty of time with the Teels and remembers how close Carson was to his grandfather. Right-hander

Jensen Elliott tried to console Carson in the days after Travis’ death, but he struggled to find the words to cheer up a friend who seemed to be eternally positive.

“That’s probably the most upset I’ve ever seen Carson,” Elliott said. “He’s definitely playing for his grandpa.”

Each pitch has a purpose, its reasoning inscribed in the dirt below Carson’s feet and the brim above his brow.

Like a chase through the house, Carson wants to win and smiles while doing it.

“Just go out there and play the game you love the way it should be played,” Carson said. “Know you’re making him happy just having fun.”

Insider

From OSU Communications

The College of Human Sciences marked another milestone on the Oklahoma State University campus when its new North Wing opened August 9. The 76,700 square-foot construction project with its soaring spaces is filled with new state-of-the-art labs, kitchens, dining venues, galleries and conference rooms.

FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 2017

Students are at the center of the $25 million transformation, and every detail is planned to ensure OSU is able to provide them the best education possible.

With a front door on Monroe Street, the Great Hall is an expansive space with a towering orange glassed elevator and grand staircase. Taylor’s fine dining lab and the Hirst Center for Beverage Education are located on the first floor for easy access. Jorns Hall provides much needed space for seminars, workshops and outreach activities while the Gaylord Gallery provides space for student and faculty exhibits. Multi-station food preparation labs, the quick service dining venue Planet Orange, and the Hal Smith Restaurant Group’s demonstration kitchen complete the remaining space on the first floor.

Hotel and Restaurant Administration offices and conference room, a large computer lab and the Human Sciences Partners Suite fill the third floor.

On the fourth floor, the Mixed Reality Lab focuses on research and instruction in augmented reality, virtual reality and digital prototyping — allowing students to develop design projects along the reality-virtuality continuum. Filled with industry-leading software and automated equipment, the Gerber Technology FashionTech Design and Development Center, a design studio and sewn products lab provide opportunities for students to develop the skills and experience they will need in apparel design and merchandising careers.

Each new space enables programs to better serve students and push the boundaries of cross-discipline educational discovery in the College of Human Sciences.

Greek members to honor ‘Princes of Pop’ in Spring Sing Kat i e Allen, S taff R epo rter , @ oco lly

Greek chapters are ready to jam Saturday to the “Princes of Pop.” The 51st annual Spring Sing will honor pop icons George Michael, David Bowie and Prince, all of whom died last year.

Spring Sing is an annual philanthropy show benefiting Coaches vs.

Cancer in which fraternity and sorority pairings choose performance themes and create sixminute musical performances.

The event will take place at 5:30 p.m. Saturday in Gallagher-Iba

FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 2017

Arena. Tickets can be purchased in advance at okstate.showclix.com for $10 or at the door for $12.

Coaches vs. Cancer is a nonprofit organization that raises money for cancer research. The organization became Spring Sing’s beneficiary in 2005.

Leah Anderson, a political science junior and member of Alpha Omicron Pi, said she is excited to perform in Spring Sing for the third time.

“I honestly love everything about Spring Sing,” Anderson said.

“I’ve been singing since

before I can even remember, so it’s great to serve my chapter and also help raise money for Coaches vs. Cancer.”

Anderson said she enjoys the crazy costumes and makeup and watching a student-planned production unfold.

Jake Hansen, an electrical engineering junior and member of Theta Chi, said the pairing process for the chapters was new this year. Instead of chapters mutually agreeing to work together, each fraternity and sorority pairing was decided by drawing from a hat.

Greek chapters have been preparing for the

show since the pairings were announced in late February. Directors for each performance are responsible for choreographing dances, writing lyrics, arranging music and designing costumes, Hansen said.

Each pairing has a unique theme. Alpha Omicron Pi and Theta

Chi chose “Scareotypes.”

“You think of scary movies and all the different characters like werewolves, vampires, ghosts and all that,” Hansen said. “We’re trying to tell the untold stories of those different monsters.

It’s supposed to be dark but funny.”

Acts are judged on musicality, theme originality, costumes and choreography.

Compared to the other two Greek shows, Freshman Follies and Varsity Revue, Spring Sing is considered more laid back, Hansen said.

“If you’ve never been to a show before, you

should go,” Hansen said.

“You get to see what other people in the Greek community are doing, and it’s philanthropy so the money goes to a good cause.”

Katie Allen is a strategic communications senior from Grove. She can be reached at akaitly@okstate.edu.
