WICHITA, Kan. -- After failing to score in each of the first three innings, Wichita State exploded for 14 runs over the next three frames to run-rule Massachusetts 14-2 on Sunday afternoon at Eck Stadium. It was the third consecutive run-rule victory in the series for the Shockers, who bested the Minutemen 12-2 in each of the first two games of the set.
The Shockers (13-10) could not solve UMass starter Jack Steele, who held the Shockers off the board for three innings while the Minutemen (3-12) took a 1-0 lead. But Wichita State broke through in the fourth against the UMass bullpen, scoring three times with two outs.
