WICHITA, Kan. – Wichita State battled back from a two-run deficit to take a lead into the seventh inning, but gave up three runs, dropping the series opener with Tulsa, 5-4.
Much like the first two games of the Charlotte series last weekend, Wichita State (17-13, 8-5) erased a late deficit only to let it slip away. A walk and an error on sac bunt gave Tulsa life in the top of the seventh, eventually leading to three runs.
After surrendering two runs in the second inning, (6-3) shut down the Golden Hurricane offense over the next four innings.
