WSU rallies late but can’t finish
Redbirds take three-game series, 2-1
There was no repeat of Saturday’s miracle finish for Wichita State.
The Shockers dropped the series finale to Illinois State, 8-6, on Sunday in Normal, Ill., after rallying from nine runs down over the final three innings for a 15-12 win on Saturday.
Down 8-3 in the eighth, WSU struck for three runs to cut an 8-3 deficit to 8-6 on RBI singles from Mikel Mucha and Alec Bohm before the tying runs were stranded on first and second.
WSU went down 1-2-3 in the ninth.
