combined to allow just two hits while striking out 12, and Wichita State manufactured a pair of runs to edge Cincinnati 2-1 on Friday afternoon at UC Baseball Stadium. The victory extends the Shockers winning streak to five games.
It's the second time in the last week that the Shockers have held an opponent to two hits or fewer after limiting Massachusetts to two hits last Saturday.
Candiotti (3-2) was untouchable in the early going, retiring the first 12 Bearcats he faced while striking out six. He allowed a leadoff solo homer to Cole Harting in the fifth and pitched around a two-out double in the sixth to earn his third victory of the season, finishing his day with seven strikeouts and just two walks.
