Wichita State - Fullerton: Happy Ending

By Jeffrey Lutz - May 13, 2007

For WSU and its fans, anyway. The Shockers lost 2 of 3 in this important series, but can feel good about knowing they won the most convincing game of the series, a 7-0 decision Sunday at Eck Stadium.

Fullerton didn't look like the same team it did on Friday and Saturday. The Titans didn't make the most of their scoring opportunities, leaving seven men on base. Their pitching was shaky and the defense, which was errorless in the first two games, made four miscues in the final game.

The Shockers, meanwhile, got outstanding pitching Sunday. Anthony Capra and Kyle Touchatt combined on the shutout, and WSU saved its bullpen. That's important because WSU's midweek starters usually last 4-5 innings, so the bullpen will be needed on Tuesday when the Shockers meet Oklahoma State, arguably WSU's biggest rival.

Thanks for reading this weekend. Happy Mother's Day to all. Signing off...
