Wichita State left the bases loaded in the ninth inning Saturday of a 7-6, series-ending loss to Cal Poly at Eck Stadium. Cal Poly (15-7) took the series 2-1.
Wichita State is 7-16.
“I appreciate the effort of our team,” Wichita State coach Todd Butler said. “It’s tough times right now and they’re fighting. I’m proud of our guys for fighting til the last out.”
Taylor Sanagorski’s grounder to first base with the bases loaded was bobbled, but Cal Poly first baseman Brett Barbier recovered to throw to the pitcher from his knees, beating Sanagorski by two steps to end the game.
