The Wichita State baseball team couldn’t find the pitching it needed to stave off an American Athletic Conference series sweep this weekend at Cincinnati.

The Shockers only led for one inning in three games, as they lost 11-9 late Saturday and 10-4 on Sunday afternoon. The sweep drops WSU’s season record to 20-23 overall and 5-10 in conference play, while Cincinnati improved to 22-22 and 11-7 in AAC play.

The final two games saw the WSU pitching staff allow a combined 16 earned runs on 19 hits, seven walks, seven wild pitches and two hit batters.
