It was Wichita State runners crossing the plate frequently on Saturday at Eck Stadium.

The Shockers, behind freshman pitcher Liam Eddy, beat Tulane 9-3.

WSU, bouncing back from Friday’s 19-4 thrashing, amassed 14 hits in winning its 15 of 17 home games.

Eddy (6-1) went seven innings, allowing five hits, striking out six and walking one.

The Shockers (21-7, 2-3 AAC) struck for three runs in the third with Gunnar Troutwine’s two-run double as the big blow.

Every WSU starter got a hit with Luke Ritter, Greyson Jenista, Alec Bohm, Trey Vickers and Travis Young getting two hits.

Tulane (13-19, 4-4) went 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position after going 14 for 25 on Friday.

Tommy Barnhouse (2-2, 2.95) will pitch for the Shockers on Sunday in the rubber game of the three-game series at 12:30 p.m.
