Two-run triple in the sixth inning dooms Wichita State
Shockers starter Willie Schwanke throws first complete game
Second baseman Luke Ritter jumped and stretched, ready to grab the line drive out of the air and get Wichita State off the field down one run.
“It just barely got over my glove,” Ritter said. “Inches.”
That is how it so often goes for a struggling team and the Shockers lost all the close battles in Friday’s 3-0 defeat to No. 8 TCU.
The line drive by Josh Watson that eluded Ritter zipped into right field for a two-run triple and a 3-0 lead.
