Pitching hurts Hilltoppers as they drop series to Rice

WKU baseball dropped its weekend series against the Rice Owls this past weekend, as the Hilltopper pitching struggled to stop the Rice offense.

Over the course of the series, WKU walked 17 batters, hit three more, and gave up six home runs. In the end, the Hilltoppers gave up 31 total runs en route to being swept.

“You can’t win if you go out there and your starters don’t get you deep in the game,” Head Coach John Pawlowski said. “We got behind the eight ball, put a lot of pressure on our offense, so we didn’t perform very well this weekend.
