OKLAHOMA SCENE
NFL suspends Gilbert four games
The NFL has suspended former Oklahoma State cornerback Justin Gilbert for four games, according to NFL Network.
The reasoning for the suspension is not known.
Gilbert is unemployed after the Pittsburgh Steelers released him in February. Gilbert had a decorated four-year career at OSU, but has been a disappointment in the NFL after the Cleveland Browns drafted him eighth overall in the 2014 NFL Draft. He played only two seasons with the Browns.
Division III softball tournament underway
If you need a little softball before the Women’s College World Series gets under way, Oklahoma City is hosting the NCAA Division III softball national championship this week.
Action started Thursday at Hall of Fame Stadium with Amherst defeating Trine 4-3. The tournament continues through Tuesday. The eight-team tournament is formatted exactly like the WCWS, even concluding with a best-of-three championship series.
Only two years after hosting the Division-II championship, Oklahoma City is hosting the DivisionIII tournament for the first time. It will return next year, too.
All-session tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for children and seniors while single-session tickets are $10 and $6.
