Wichita State gets strong outing from Codi Heuer in road win
Codi Heuer pitched six solid innings in his second start of the season, enabling Wichita State to defeat Indiana State 5-2 Friday in Terre Haute, Ind.
Heuer, whose other start came March 1 against Nebraska-Omaha, limited the Sycamores to four hits and one run in six innings. Maize’s Connor Lungwitz went two innings, allowing one hit and striking out three. Ben Hecht pitched the ninth, allowing a home run to Tony Rosselli.
WSU (27-27, 10-10 MVC) struck in the first when Willie Schwanke singled home Greyson Jenista, who had walked.
The final three batters in the Shocker order (Alex Jackson, Travis Young and Jordan Boyer) went 5 for 11. In the second, Jackson doubled, Young tripled him in and Young came home on a wild pitch.
Luke Ritter’s two-out single in the seventh scored Boyer, who had singled, and Alec Bohm, who was intentionally walked.
Notes: Trey Vickers went 0 for 5, ending his nine-game hitting streak. He is hitting .422 in Missouri Valley play. Jenista’s seven-game hitting streak also came to an end.… Indiana State (26-24, 11-9) remains third in the Valley. WSU and Southern Illinois are 10-10, tied for fourth. WSU holds the tie-breaker over SIU. If WSU defeats Indiana State on Saturday, the Shockers will finish third, having the tie-breaker over the Sycamores.… Robbie Evans (0-0, 2.86) will pitch Saturday for WSU.
