The home run chase is the big one, of course. Ignoring it is basically impossible, hard as Madison Perrigan tries and as routine as it's become around Wilkins Stadium.
Perrigan, a senior catcher, tied Wichita State's career record with two home runs during Saturday's doubleheader sweep of Creighton at Wilkins Stadium. The Shockers routed the Bluejays 14-2 and 13-3 in run-rule victories on a windy day.
Wichita State (4-2) hit five home runs in the first game and six in the second. Creighton (0-2) used four pitchers in the doubleheader and surrendered 23 hits, 14 for extra bases in eight innings.
