Softball sweeps Tulsa in home opener

After 29 straight road games, Wichita State Softball returned to Wilkins Stadium as they took on Tulsa in a three-game series. The Shockers persevered to pick up a clean sweep against the Golden Hurricanes.

“Really we just never gave up,” junior Neleigh Herring said. “We had to battle a couple of times because it was kind of close but we just never gave up in the box. Our pitchers never gave up in the circle. Just to keep pushing, keep doing that kind of thing really helped us get out on top.”

The Shockers struggled to find their footing against Tulsa in game one of the series on Friday, after freshman pitcher Alison Cooper allowed three runs in the top of the first inning, while the Shockers remained scoreless.
