In a thrilling game that lasted over four hours, the Wichita State Shockers defeated the Missouri State Bears 9-8 on Sunday afternoon at Eck Stadium. Mauricio Millan’s two-out single with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning sealed the victory for the Shockers after Max Knight tied the game with a solo homer in the top of the ninth. The Bears had a strong offensive performance, matching a season high with 15 hits, including a career-high three hits from Caden Bogenpohl and a near cycle from Taeg Gollert.
Despite falling behind early after a four-run first inning by the Shockers, the Bears fought back with a five-run third inning to take a 5-4 lead. However, the Shockers rallied and the game remained close throughout, with WSU finally clinching the win in the ninth inning.
