Wichita State baseball coach Todd Butler suspected he had a talented pitching staff coming into the season, and he was able to observe multiple arms in the Shockers’ 8-0 shutout win over Omaha on Wednesday afternoon at Eck Stadium.
Wichita State used 10 pitchers and compiled 12 strikeouts while allowing just three hits. Codi Heuer, the starter, went two innings and struck out four Mavericks at WSU improved to 7-0.
“It’s extremely nice to have so many guys out there,” Butler said. “It’s more depth than I’ve seen in quite some time. The one thing with this team is the more we get guys in competition settings, the better we’re going to become.
