A pair of sixth-inning rallies propelled the Wichita State baseball team to a home-opening doubleheader sweep of Creighton at Eck Stadium on Friday.
The Shockers scored four runs in the sixth inning of the first game for a come-from-behind 7-5 win, then followed with four runs again in the sixth inning of the second game to complete a 4-3 comeback. The sweep (Saturday’s finale was already canceled due to projected cold temperatures) improved WSU’s record to 5-5 on the season, while Creighton fell to 5-3.
These were the first two times this season that Creighton’s offense had been held to under nine runs.
