The pride of Conway, Ark. made a splash at UFCU Disch-Falk Field on Sunday, as Kansas State Wildcats freshman left-hander Jordan Wicks threw a complete game shutout against the No. 14 Texas Longhorns to take the series with a 2-0 victory.
For the first time in the short, but promising career of Wicks, the left-hander went the distance, though it was the third time this season that he’s completed an appearance without giving up any runs, earned or otherwise.
Over 129 pitches, a career high, Wicks struck out six while scattering five hits and four walks — Texas had baserunners, leaving 10 on during the game, but couldn’t come through with the key hit.
