Shockers Stymie Green Wave Bats in Opener

WICHITA, Kan. – Three Wichita State pitchers combined on a six-hit shutout as the Shockers opened the final home series of the season with a 2-0 win over Tulane on Friday night at Eck Stadium.

The Shockers (17-32) deployed a new pitching strategy in the opener, starting reliever Caden Favors in lieu of regular Friday night starter Jace Kaminska. Favors responded with three excellent innings, blanking the Green Wave while recording four strikeouts.

Wichita State got all the offense they would need in the first four hitters of the game. Brock Rodden reached on a one-out infield single, and Sawyre Thornhill drove him home with a triple that banged high off the left field fence.
