The Kansas State baseball team finally has a win on the 2022 season after starting 0-5. A 3-run homer by Dylan Phillips in the third inning on Sunday pushed the Cats ahead for good, and the BatCats finally came alive and put up a few more runs while Blake Coresentino pitched 7 2⁄3 innings of scoreless relief to earn the 8-2 victory over CSU Bakersfield to end the series.
But it wasn’t all joy in Bakersfield. On Friday night, the Wildcats scored the go-ahead run in the top of the 9th, only to give up the tying run in the bottom, before getting blanked in the two extra innings to fall 4-3.
