Wichita State is 18-4, moving toward the national softball rankings and starting conference play with designs on winning the title.
That type of team doesn't mess around on Friday nights. The Shockers checked that box with a 16-1 run-rule win over ECU at Wilkins Stadium.
"We like to go after people and score runs first," Wichita State junior Neleigh Herring said. "That's definitely something we're trying to do every game. Show them we're here to play and they're going to have to get after it."
The Shockers (1-0 American Athletic Conference) set course for the run-rule with a four-run first inning and added two more in the second.
