Shocks hosting OU

[outpost]

WSU scores 4 in first, 4 in second.

Bottom of the 6th, WSU leads 9-4.

[iSASO]

More than 6,700 in attendance. Highest attendance since the 1999 NCAA Regional.
Only the 8th largest in school history.

[outpost]

Final 9-5 Shocks.

OU had baserunners all over the place, but pitching and defense held it together after the hitters teed off early.

[ten~39]

Great showing from the previous-left-for-dead Shocks!:shockers:

[WSUfan]

A great night for baseball and a great win made this a ... great day to be a Shocker. :grin:

[shocker3]

Shox sweep OU. Winning earlier this year in Norman 12-2 and tonight in Wichita 9-5.

Big wins for the Shox and the Valley!:valley: :shockers:

[redbirdtim]

The sweep of Long Beach and OU will help the Shox make the regional, especially if they win the series vs USC.

Shockers Take Down No. 8 Oklahoma, 9-5

In front of the eighth largest crowd in Shocker history, 6,791 fans, Wichita State (36-11) defeated the No. 8 Oklahoma Sooners (34-16), 9-5. The Shockers have been victorious in 11 of their last 13 games.

Starter Kris Johnson tied his personal best of nine strikeouts in 4.2 innings, giving up three earned runs on eight hits and one walk. Khol Nanney gave up two hits in 1.1 innings of scoreless work, and Anthony Capra faced four batters in the seventh, walking two before being relieved by left-hander Noah Booth. The junior earned his fourth save of the year, going 2.1 innings, allowing one unearned run and only two hits.

Shox have won 11 of 13, only losses being to Ok State and Nebraska on the road.

[iSASO]

Attendance correction. Nearly 6,800.

[outpost]

Correction on records too.

WSU s/b 35-15, not 36-11
OU is now 35-12, not 34-16

[Shox21]

It was a fun game -- weather was great and the rain didn't materialize. And you are right, there were red shirts all OVER the bases after the first two innings. Would love to see a sweep in Normal this weekend, but IlS may have other thoughts on that.

Did Gene remember which team bus to get on after the game?

He looked for the short bus so he could say "hi" to you. Sorry you missed the game.

Great quip. Would have been even better if it wasn't a home game with ONLY ONE BUS on site anyway.:doh:

Yawn.......it was only the eighth largest crowd in WSU history.

OU athletic department representatives checked out Coleman Hill and took pictures. OU is gathering ideas for a patio area at Mitchell Park. :grin:

Blue stadium was so packed last night that nobody had room to throw up.

Bigger Yawn............your 8th largest of all time is smaller than CU's largest crowd just for this year.

[MikeKennedyRulz]

Bigger Yawn............your 8th largest of all time is smaller than CU's largest crowd just for this year.

The difference is 90% of the people last night weren't there to see the other team play.

[iSASO]

And 90% of the 10% there to see Creighton were wearing red underneath their Creighton basketball shirt.

[DaShox]

And about 11,600 of the 12,276 were wearing red.

CU vs. Nebrasaka: 12,276
CU vs. WSU: 1,676
CU vs. WSU: 1,121
CU vs WSU: 513
CU vs N. Colorado: 204
CU vs. Evansville: 207
CU vs. Evansville: 638
CU vs. Evansville: 481
CU vs K-State: 372
CU vs. Illinois State: N/A

Impressive.

[blueblood]

HMMM 12,276 vs 6500. which one is bigger?

Note: Remember the date May 16th. Be sure to check attendance figures on that date.
Fact: NU has played teams such as Texas at the Rosenblatt and none have had numbers like the NU-CU series.

[outpost]

An attendance figure approximating the earlier CU-NU game could help make up for all three of those rain-outs vs. South Dakota this weekend.

Creighton has lost eight games to rain-out this year.

Blue, I'd have to say that I've never seen you leave yourself so exposed on VT as you just did with this retarded comment. LOL!:chair:

[blueblood]

The way Cu is playing I don't have much to work with. I have to go with what I got. I can only do the picture of the guy puking so many times. But I could bring him back if you think the appeal is there.

PLEASE, no. The appeal is definitely not there, but then again, neither are CU's attendance figures.

[outpost]

Blue's argument begs the question.......

Is it really CU's largest crowd of the season? Or is it NU's 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th (or whatever, fill in your own number) largest crowd of the season?

Just because the game is in Rosenblatt, and in Omaha, doesn't necessarily mean that it's "CU's crowd."

Say, what did the BJays draw for that regional in.....oh silly me. You've never had a regional. And never will.

[outpost]

Now that I think of it.......it didn't really make a helluva lot of difference whether the CU-So. Dakota St. series was played or not.

Fan indifference.......

[blueblood]

I just had a little throw up come up the back of my throat. Got it to go back down. Don't know if I can hold it down much longer. Couple more comments and Mr. Puke may surface agian.

[outpost]

Minimal risk that you'll get it on anyone....they all left for Lincoln about 30 minutes ago......:no:

[DaShox]

Damn, I was hoping you would choke on it. Anything I can do to help?

[C0|db|00ded]

What's the rent over at Rosenblatt Blue? I wonder how much of that "Nebraska revenue" you had to give back to the park?

Procedes are I think actually split with the Omaha Royals. Not sure on the %.
l
I noticed your sticky with WSU-OU tickets selling for 5 bucks to try and fill the place up. Kind of the same as your favorite CU basketball promo you make fun of all the time, Christ the King night.

Christ the King night eh? Hmm.. I'll have to make note of that. I usually refer to Joan of Arc 2 for 1 night.

That little 5 dollar promo is for baseball not basketball.. big difference and there would have been 6 thousand there regardless of the promotion.

If Creighton would have had a promotion where anyone wearing a Creighton baseball shirt got in free, there would have been no difference in attendance.

6 thousand regardless of the promotion for WSU baseball, but not for CU basketball? gocha.

Actually the St. Joan of Arc night was even better than that.

It was 2 for FREE night. We got two FREE tickets for just handing in a coupon that people were passing out in the parking lot.

It was the best promotion I had ever seen. The game ended up going into to double OT so we really got a bargain!

The Regular price for the tickets was $9, which would have been a bargain for a division 1 basketball game. My nephew and I saved $18 by using the St. Joan of Arc coupon.

I think we did end up spending $18 on concessions.:valley:
