WSU tries to solve late slide -
05/15/2008
Through a series of shutouts, blown leads and other misfortune, Wichita State is just about out of baseball lives. The losses get even more painful from here. The 22nd-ranked Shockers may need to win three straight against Bradley beginning tonight to secure the Missouri Valley Conference title. After that, it's tournament time. Unfortunately for the Shockers, they appeared to peak in March, which is good for a basketball team and not so good for baseball. WSU is 16-12 since its 19-game win streak ended on April 4. "I don't get why we can't come out here and play like the way we know we can," WSU right fielder Ryan Jones said after Tuesday's 12-0 loss to Oral Roberts. "We need to get the swagger back, the WSU swagger that we had at the beginning of the year and that we've had for 20, 30 years." Tuesday's loss to ORU put an exclamation point on the many plagues of Shocker baseball over the past six weeks. Their offensive problems started when a pulled muscle in his side benched second baseman Josh Workman for almost three weeks. Back pain cost third baseman Conor Gillaspie four games and continues to hamper him. Left fielder Kenny Williams is out with mononucleosis. With little experience on the bench, WSU slumped and has yet to rebound. The Shockers are hitting .286 in the past 28 games, dropping their season average to .303, and averaging seven runs a game. The team ERA is 5.16 in those 28 games, 3.66 for the season.
Spears, WSU set for tough challenge -
05/15/2008
Ryan Spears wanted to play in the NCAA Men's Golf Championships before he ever signed his letter of intent with Wichita State. Despite all the senior's success, which includes a Missouri Valley Conference individual title two years ago, the national tournament has been elusive. And now this. If the Shockers are going to cash in on Spears' last run at the NCAAs, they'll have to do it not only against a tough 27-team field at the Central Regional in Columbus, Ohio, but by successfully navigating Ohio State's famed Scarlet Course for the next three days. "It's going to be the toughest golf I've played in my life," Spears said after a practice round Wednesday. "This place is really, really difficult." The Shockers, who received an automatic bid by winning the MVC tournament last month, are seeded 11th in a field that features 10 conference champions. The top 10 teams after Saturday's final round will advance to nationals on May 28-31 in West Lafayette, Ind.
Shockers' midweek woes continue -
05/14/2008
Wichita State is done with mid-week games, one game too late. Oral Roberts routed the 22nd-ranked Shockers 12-0 on Tuesday at Eck Stadium, WSU's sixth straight mid-week loss. The previous five featured their painful moments mixed in with moments of hope. ORU handed the Shockers (38-15) nothing but pain from start to finish. The Golden Eagles (39-12) out-hit WSU 16-7 and lefty Kelly Minissale struck out six on the way to his second complete game of the season. It was, as WSU coach Gene Stephenson immediately copped to, his team's worst outing of the season by far. That it comes in May, two days before a crucial Missouri Valley Conference series, makes it even worse. "I can't explain it," he said. "We were beaten at every phase of the game tonight, completely. I have no other excuses, other than we were beaten by a better team tonight." ORU broke out to a 4-0 lead and chased starter Tim Kelley in the third inning. The bullpen didn't do much to keep the Shockers in the game and the defense didn't help.
Kansas City extends Region VI -
05/14/2008
Kansas City Community College's baseball team guaranteed itself a tomorrow by removing doubt from the present. Needing to win to force a winner-take-all game in the Region VI tournament at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium, KCK used an aggressive approach at the plate to beat Johnson County 16-7. The teams meet again at 7 p.m. today with the winner advancing to the junior college world series in Grand Junction, Colo. "Just because one guy's swinging it well doesn't mean the other guy is, but it sure opens the door for everybody to start hitting," KCK coach Steve Burleson said. The Blue Devils wore out Johnson County pitching by rarely swinging at pitches out of the strike zone. The Cavaliers were on their fifth pitcher by the fifth inning, and the first four had combined to throw more strikes than balls despite allowing nine hits and two walks.
Home run king faces 15 felony counts alleging lies -
05/14/2008
Bonds indictment refiled Barry Bonds was charged in a new indictment Tuesday with 15 felony counts alleging he lied to a grand jury when he denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs and that he hampered the federal government's doping investigation. The career home run leader originally was indicted in November by a federal grand jury on four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice. Following a motion by Bonds' lawyers to dismiss the case, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston in February ordered prosecutors to rewrite the indictment because multiple alleged lies were lumped into single charges. On Tuesday, a grand jury handed up a superseding indictment charging Bonds with 14 counts of making false declarations to a grand jury in 2003 and one count of obstruction of justice. No new lies were alleged.
