Wichita State baseball coach Eric Wedge talked about playing steady baseball.
He was not talking about most of Sunday's game, which turned into a stereotypically wacky Sunday-deep-into-the-pitching-staff game with wind gusts of 25-30 mph added to the fun.
The Shockers defeated South Dakota State 19-7 on Sunday at Eck Stadium to get back to .500. Wichita State (8-8) climbed out of an 0-6 start and, after a playing 11 games away from home, gets nine more at Eck Stadium this month.
Things started badly for the Shockers. They held it together during a road swing that took them from Louisiana to Oklahoma and Texas.
