Balanced WSU softball completes sweep of Drake

Wichita State softball utilized offensive balance Sunday to complete a three-game sweep over Missouri Valley preseason favorite Drake.

The Shockers pounded out 14 hits – six from the 6-9 hitters to go with eight from the 1-4 hitters – in an 8-4 victory over the Bulldogs at Wilkins Stadium. It was WSU’s eighth straight victory over Drake, dating to the 2015 season.

Laurie Derrico sparked the attack from the No. 3 spot, going 3-4 with 3 RBIs, capping her day with a two-run single in the sixth that provided the final margin and boosted her team-leading RBI total to 27.
