Baseball's Win Streak Snapped in 13-2 Loss to Wichita State

WICHITA, Kan. -- Six Oral Roberts errors led to seven unearned runs for Wichita State as the Shockers downed ORU 13-2 Tuesday at Eck Stadium, snapping the Golden Eagles' 15-game winning streak.



The Shockers (39-23) took a 4-0 lead in the first as ORU starter Kris Kline (2-4) last just one-third of an inning.



ORU trimmed it to 4-2 in the third after Ryan Welborn tripled home a run and later scored on a wild pitch.



Wichita State scored an unearned run in the bottom of the fourth as shortstop Grant Plumley made a pair of errors. The Shockers tacked on four more runs in the fourth, three of which were unearned. Scott Campbell and David Castillo each were charged with errors in the fourth.



Leading 9-2, the Shockers again took advantage of a porous ORU defense in the fifth, scoring three runs. Second baseman Matt VanDerBosch couldn't handle Nick Blasi's one-out grounder, allowing Shawn Smarsh to score from second, and after Drew Moffitt grounded to short for the second out, Wichita State plated a pair of runs on hits by Cody Clark and Logan Sorenson for an 12-2 lead.



Reliever Andrew Collup was a bright spot for ORU, allowing just one run on four hits while striking out three in three innings.



The Golden Eagles collected just six hits, with Welborn going 2-for-4.



ORU closes the regular season with a four game series against Western Illinois beginning with a 2 p.m., Saturday doubleheader at J.L. Johnson Stadium.
