Kansas State has a four-game winning streak after a hard-fought 2-1 win over Western Michigan on Sunday afternoon to complete a sweep of the three-game weekend series at Tointon.
In the fourth, the BatCats manufactured a run then got one the old-fashioned way as Zach Kokoska walked, stole second, moved to third on a groundout, and scored on a Dylan Phillips sacrifice fly. A two-out double by Daniel Carinci was cashed in when Terrence Spurlin singled, and K-State had a lead they’d never relinquish.
Connor McCullough turned in his second great start of the season, lasting 5
1⁄
3 innings and giving up a lone run in the sixth before departing. C-Mac struck out six, walking only one, and two of the three hits he allowed were in the sixth inning.

This weekend, Kansas State Wildcats managed to not lose at anything at all. On Saturday, the Wildcat women stayed even with Nebraska-Omaha in the second half. That was good, because it allowed an 18-11 first quarter lead to hold up as the Cats hung on for a 66-59 victory.
The Mavericks were almost a problem, however. K-State led by six going into the final quarter, but UNO roared to life and tied the game at 51 with just under five minutes to play. But Rachel Ranke and Christianna Carr both drained threes go regain that six-point margin, and Sydney Goodson was nails from the stripe down the stretch.
