WICHITA, Kan. – As Robert Cranz trotted out of the bullpen at Eck Stadium, a familiar sound echoed throughout the ballpark.
As his name was announced, it drew a few “boos” from the Wichita State faithful. A light attendance of 844 made the sporadic jeers all the more distinct.
Cranz played for Wichita State his first two seasons of college baseball, but on Tuesday night, his name was being announced as part of Oklahoma State. And he delivered in a moment that couldn’t have been more pivotal in OSU’s 3-0 win over Wichita State.
