Any way to watch the Okie St games today

I am hopeful FSU will put out some highlights on Twitter. But unfortunately it's on the Flo Sports service
 
I just paid the $30 to get this weekend's games. . .sucks.

Off to a rocky start too. Bottom one down 1-0 still no outs and two on for Ok St.
 
Could have been a lot worse. Managed to get out of the first only surrendering two runs. 0-2 Ok State heading to the top of the second.
 
Several meek at bats for FSU in the top of the second, and a lead off homer for Ok St to start the second, but FSU settles down a bit and limits the damage again. 0-3 Ok St going to top of 3.
 
Beach comes through to end 6 straight Nole K's with a bomb to left 3-1 headed to bottom of three.
 
Apsel comes in and shuts down Ok St. surrendering a lead off single, followed by 2 K's and a ground out. Headed to top of four still down 3-1.
 
FSU caught stealing is the lowlight of the top of the fourth, nothing across for FSU headed to the bottom of the fourth frame still 3-1.
 
Apsel working hard, but gives up one more run and has to throw 6,000,000 pitches to end the fourth.

4-1 Ok St headed to top of the 5th.

In a nutshell my observation so far Ok St is extending every at bat, extremely disciplined and making FSU pitchers earn every single out. It seems FSU is able to immediately get two strikes on them, but can't finish the deal. Meanwhile, lots of FSU hitters are chasing pitches out of the zone and swinging themselves out. The difference in discipline so far is the difference in the game.
 
What looked promising with two runners in scoring position and no outs ends up only getting one more across for the good guys. The inning ended with a very suspect called third strike on Beachum. . .looked pretty inside to me.

4-2 Ok St headed to bottom of 5
 
Two across as we head to the top of the 6th, time is running out for the Noles.

Apsel is out and Gooden is in for the Noles. Apsel looked very good in many long battles.
 
Edenfield chases one low and outside to ground into a double play. Nothing across for the Noles in the top of the 6th.
 
FSU avoids the run rule and we head to the top of the seventh down 7 at 9-2.

Do you believe in miracles?!?
 
Yup. Beachum with another bomb, and a 9-6 opening loss for the Noles.

A bit too much sloppy play and far too much chasing bad pitches at the plate for FSU.

Hopefully some of our veteran hitters will relax a bit and not try to be a hero in every at bat.

The already looked to be making adjustments by the end of the game, making it a respectable final score. I look for them to settle in quickly.
