Wichita State's number 12 Ryan Stempfig strikes out Kansas State's first two batters on March 27 at Eck Stadium (Austin Shaw/The Sunflower.)
Wichita State beat in-state rival Kansas State Wednesday night at Eck Stadium.
The Shockers won the first game of a home-and-away series with the Wildcats 8-5.
After a 12-run burst over Omaha the day before, Wichita State’s offense picked up where it left off. Luke Ritter put the Shockers on the board with an RBI double. On the next at-bat, Mason O’Brien blooped a double into right to send Ritter home to score the second run of the inning.
