Ooof.
Kansas State is now 0-1 in Big 12 play, and Jordan Wicks saw his season ERA balloon all the way to 2.65 in the space of just six innings as the BatCats (13-8, 0-1) were savagely pummeled by 13th-ranked Oklahoma State (13-6-1, 1-0) in a 14-5 loss last night in Stillwater.
The game started out okay; a Chris Ceballos homer in the fourth led to K-State entering the bottom of the sixth trailing only 3-2. But Wicks gave up a two-run homer in that inning, and then the bullpen surrendered nine unanswered runs.
