Wichita State outfielder Couper Cornblum and the Shockers were off to one of the best starts in program history. WSU was 13-2 and was riding a 13 game winning streak, the longest since 2008. Then it all came to a halt, with the season being canceled.
Through 15 games, Cornblum was a key catalyst to the Shockers’ hot start. Cornblum hit a team-best .354 batting average, .625 slugging percentage and a .492 on-base percentage. Cornblum’s on-base percentage was good enough for the second-highest in the American Athletic Conference.
Cornblum said that with the success he and the program were having, it was tough to have that come to an end with the season’s cancellation.
