Report: Bush to throw
Adam Luther/O’Colly
O’Brate Stadium will replace Allie P. Reynolds Stadium as the home of Cowboy baseball.
Former President George W. Bush has reportedly rescheduled his first pitch at O’Brate Stadium, Bill Haisten of the Tulsa World reported Monday. Bush will throw out the first pitch on Thursday, May 20 in the Cowboys series opener against New Orleans.
Bush was scheduled to throw out the first pitch in O’Brate in the inaugural game March 20, 2020, but 12 days before the event the NCAA canceled all spring seasons due to COVID-19. But now Cowboys fans will have the chance to see the former president more than a year later. On Sunday, Oklahoma State
announced full capacity inside of stadiums for the remainder of the spring seasons. O’Brate Stadium can fit 8,000. No official announcement from OSU regarding the first pitch has been made. sports.ed@ocolly.com

WASHINGTON – A major fuel pipeline supplying the East Coast was shut down Friday after the Georgia-based company operating it became the victim of a ransomware attack. Friday’s hack forced Colonial Pipeline to halt operations in what it called an abundance of caution. The company said the ransomware attack targeted its information technology systems. White House officials said Monday that the pipeline did not appear to suffer any damage. Cybersecurity experts have been warning for years about the threat posed by a ransomware attack on U.S. infrastructure
in the wake of thousands of successful hacks of computer systems operated by governments, school districts, companies and hospitals. To combat such cyberattacks, governments and businesses must beef up their defenses, better prepare to respond to intrusions and put diplomatic pressure on countries harboring cybercriminals, the experts say. What happened? Ransomware is malware that infects and locks computer systems until victims pay hackers a fee to unlock them. Hackers typically infect such systems by tricking unwitting computer users into clicking an email attachment or a link containing the virus. See Pipeline on pg.2
