Shockers sweep Creighton in doubleheader

Wichita State swept Creighton in the doubleheader of its opening series at Eck Stadium.

The Shockers beat its former Missouri Valley Conference rival 4-3 and 7-5.

In the first game, the Blue Jays got out a 4-1 lead in the sixth inning, but the Shockers responded with a four-run rally in the bottom half including a two-run double courtesy Hunter Gibson who finished the game going 3-4 with three RBIs.

“I was just focused on hitting the ball up the middle,” right-fielder Hunter Gibson said. “I was starting to get their pitches down and what they were doing in certain counts and it worked out for me.
