Wichita State third baseman Alec Bohm slides to third base during the game against Illinois State at Eck Stadium (April 29, 2017)
Lasting memories in the Missouri Valley Conference ended in disappointing fashion for Wichita State baseball.
The Shockers will not be able to represent the MVC one last time in the NCAA Tournament after losing to top-seeded Missouri State in the loser’s bracket in Friday’s MVC Tournament in Springfield, Missouri, ending their membership with a 5-8 record in conference tournament play over the last four years.
WSU, who finished the year with a 28-30 record, trailed by five runs in the top of the third inning before a wild pitch scored sophomore Alec Bohm in the bottom of the fourth inning.
