After a disappointing opening to the Big 12 Baseball Championships, that saw the Cats fall 5-3 to Texas Tech on Wednesday, Kansas State rebounded in the elimination game on Thursday to beat West Virginia 8-5 thanks to the Wildcats best offensive day in a couple weeks and a strong outing from Blake Adams. The Wildcats knocked in 12 hits resulting directly in 6 RBI, and scored two runs on bases-loaded walks, both taken by Cash Rugely. The Wildcats were also able to take advantage of three errors by the Mountaineers. Adams was roughed up early, then went three innings where he threw just 18 pitches to be able to extend his outing all the way into the 7th inning to provide some relief to K-State’s bullpen.
