Freshman Caden Favors started on the mound for the Shockers and allowed four runs on seven hits in four innings. This loss brings his record to 1-1.
Oral Roberts scored first at the top of the fourth when redshirt junior Preston Baumgartner hit a single to center field with runners on second and third that allowed junior Drew Stahl to score.
Junior Garrett Pennington led Wichita State’s offense with 2 RBI and a home run.
