Bison Open Chris Cox Era By Welcoming Missouri Western

SHAWNEE – The Oklahoma Baptist baseball team is set to open 2020 this weekend as they take on Missouri Western in a three-game series. OBU is coming off a banner 2019 year, having gone 35-21 and earning a Great American Conference Tournament championship and an NCAA Central Regional appearance.
 
The Bison will look to continue that momentum as they head into the 2020 season. OBU will also be starting the season with a new coach for the first time in 35 years. Legendary coach Bobby Cox decided in the off-season to call it a career. However, the Cox family tradition continues on Bison Hill as Bobby's son, Chris Cox, was elevated to head coach. 
 
Some key members of last year's regional run return, including senior catcher Ramon Enriquez, who earned All-American status in 2019.

First pitch is set for Friday, Jan. 31 at 5 p.m. from the newly-branded Bobby Cox Field at Ford Park. Admission is free, and fans in attendance will have the opportunity to get an official 2020 team poster.
