For the first time in K-State baseball history, the Wildcats won a series against Baylor in Waco, Texas, defeating the Bears by a score of 6-3 Sunday.
The game got off to a rocky start for the Wildcats (20-22, 7-11) as junior Brandon Erickson took the mound for the first start of his K-State career.
Erickson ran into trouble early, and after allowing four-straight hits and two runs in the first inning, freshman reliever Bryce Ward took the mound to close out the first frame.
Ward kept the Bears at bay, throwing five-straight scoreless innings. Meanwhile, the K-State offense got on the board in the sixth inning with redshirt sophomore infielder Steve Serratore’s double scoring senior outfielder Max Brown to cut Baylor’s lead down to 2-1.
