McGinness, Shockers Take Down No. 8 ECU on Senior Day

WICHITA, Kan. – Senior pitcher tossed his first-career complete-game as the Wichita State baseball team defeated the eighth-ranked ECU Pirates, 3-1, in the second game of a three-game American Athletic Conference series Saturday afternoon, May 11, at Eck Stadium, Home of Tyler Field.

The victory marked the first win over a top-10 team for the Shockers (23-27, 7-13 American) since 2014, when they downed then No. 9-ranked Cal State Fullerton, 4-2.

McGinness (5-4), a right-hander from Amazonia, Mo., threw 103 pitches and went the full nine innings, allowing one only earned run on five hits, with four strikeouts and only one walk on the way to his fifth triumph on the mound this season.
