BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — A day after Ryan Thurston accumulated 11 strikeouts in 7.1 innings, starter Paul Kirkpatrick followed with his own gem, but WKU Baseball lost to Ohio by a score of 3-0 on Saturday afternoon.
The righty from Austin, Texas, threw a Hilltoppers’ season high 8.1 innings on 102 pitches - including 77 strikes - with two strikeouts compared to no walks. He scattered eight hits and allowed three earned runs, walking off the mound in the ninth inning to an ovation from the home dugout and the 402 in attendance.
