Wow.
Kenny Gajewski says #OkState was told Ruby Meylan was the Big 12 pitcher of the year. Hours later, they received an email saying she was a co-winner with NiJaree Canady.
Why? “I get an answer they looked at it holistically … holistically wasn’t on my voting sheet”
Kenny Gajewski is calling out the Big 12 Conference after claiming softball award winners were changed at the last minute without another coach's vote.
"A vote is a vote. Why did my staff spend an hour and a half voting if our vote doesn’t matter?”

Kudos to Kenny Gajewski for standing up for his team.
The Oklahoma State softball coach didn't hold back after he said Ruby Meylan was named the outright Big 12 Pitcher of the Year before the league announced Co-Pitchers of the Year.

According to Oklahoma State beat writer @EricBaileyTW the Big 12 has not responded to multiple request for comments. Should the @Big12Conference have to explain this decision?🏆🏆
