Sharks, as far as Wichita State coach Brian Green knows, are mostly about one thing.
"All they do is wake up and hunt food every day," Green said.
That single-minded purpose is what Green wants from his hitters with two outs. Those at-bats, the Shockers believe, are the ones that change games. To indicate their importance, two-out RBIs are rewarded with a shark sticker to apply to the batting helmet.
"It's being tough, being competitive," designated hitter Jaden Gustafson said. "That's how our program is run now. Getting the job done."
Friday's 10-3 win over Rice at Eck Stadium provided more evidence of the value of two-out hits.
