A powerful offensive second inning propelled the WKU baseball team to a hard fought 10-9 victory over Murray State on Tuesday evening at Nick Denes Field.
The Hilltoppers (10-20 overall, 3-6 Conference USA), who snapped a four-game losing streak, recorded six runs on six hits in the frame and showed plenty of momentum early. In the inning, WKU tallied three singles, a double, a triple and a home run to take the early 6-0 advantage.
“It’s been frustrating – we’ve had our moments, we just haven’t played consistent, championship baseball – and that’s where we’re at,” WKU head coach John Pawlowski said.
