The most successful season in Wichita State softball history came to an end on Sunday afternoon in Fayetteville, Ark., as the Shockers lost 6-4 to Arkansas in their first NCAA Tournament regional final appearance.
It was a heartbreaking loss after WSU rallied to take a 4-3 lead over the No. 13-ranked hosts on Asea Webber's two-run double in the third inning. The Shockers had hopes of forcing a second game with a chance to go to a best-of-three super regional.
But Arkansas' Hannah McEwen belted a two-run home run in the fourth inning and the Razorbacks tacked on another run in the sixth to secure the victory.
