WSU 6, UNI 5, a final:Â Ryan Jones drives in two with a single to give WSU a ninth-inning rally and a series sweep.
UNI 5, WSU 4 after six: The Panthers give WSU a run with a bases-loaded walk and a hit batter. The Shockers still cannot get the big hit to take over the game.
UNI 5, WSU 2 after five: The Shockers take a gift from Kirk, a two-base throwing error, and turn it into a run. Khol Nanney is pitching for WSU.
UNI 5, WSU 1 going to the bottom of the fifth: For the second straight Sunday, WSU starter Anthony Capra gets an early hook. He gave up three singles, a walk and hit a batter to start UNI’s four-run inning. Reliever Tyler Fleming walked two and gave up a single.
WSU 1, UNI 1 after three: UNI’s Nick Kirk escape a shaky first inning. He may give the Panthers their best chance to win game in this series.
Conor Gillaspie is out of the lineup again today, presumably due to his back. He was originally going to play, then scratched about 30 minutes before the game. WSU goes to its no-Conor lineup, with Josh Workman leading off, Andy Dirks batting third and Grant Muncrief at third base. Muncrief looked OK at bat Friday. He did not get a chance to field a ball.
