WSU baseball commits seven errors in 19-4 loss to Tulane
Wichita State baseball’s first home game in the American Athletic Conference is one it would like to forget.
The Shockers committed seven errors and lost to Tulane 19-4 in a game halted by the conference run-rule after seven innings Friday at Eck Stadium.
The WSU record for errors in a game is eight, against Nebraska in 1986.
Tulane (13-18, 4-3 AAC) had an 11-run second inning Friday, sending 16 batters to the plate. Tulane went 8 for 12 with runners in scoring position in the second.
WSU starter Cody Heuer only lasted 1 1/3 innings and allowed eight earned runs while being charged with his first loss of the season.
Three of WSU’s errors were made by shortstop Trey Vickers, and third baseman Alec Bohm was charged with two.
The Shockers (20-7, 1-3) got three runs in the fifth.
Vickers had two of WSU’s five hits and is 7 for 16 (.438) in his last five games.
The second-game of the three-game weekend series is at 2 p.m. Saturday.
