Shockers Homer Thrice, Fall Short at Memphis
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Wichita State matched a season high with three home runs, but could not withstand a late Memphis rally as the Tigers scored three times in the seventh for a 7-6 win on Friday night at FedExPark.
The Shockers (13-29) got off to a strong start, as Brock Rodden skied a towering solo homer run on the seventh pitch of the game for a 1-0 lead. Andrew Stewart doubled the lead in the second with an RBI double, scoring Payton Tolle, who had led off the inning with an infield single.
In the third, Rodden ripped a one-out single and Thornhill followed by blasting a two-run homer to dead center, once again doubling the Wichita State advantage to 4-0.
