On a stormy night across the Great Plains, the Kansas State Wildcats managed to outlast both Mother Nature and Northern Colorado to pick up an 8-6 win to snap a four-game losing streak.
The game’s start was delayed nearly an hour due to lighting in the area, but that didn’t delay the K-State offense, who, once the game got going, put up six runs in the first three innings, highlighted by a 4-run 3rd that featured Dylan Phillips 36th-career homerun — that puts him just one behind the K-State career record mark of 37 set by Scott Poepard during his run from 1994-97.
