ORUTerry Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (excerpt) BY PAUL SUELLENTROP The Wichita Eagle Shocker report There is one team guaranteed to throw up a roadblock to Wichita State momentum. No matter the timing. Oral Roberts almost always makes the Shockers look below average.

theeagleman5 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Beating Wichita State is nice...but beating SDSU and Centenary will be better....yes, the #1 seed in the Summit Tournament makes the road a lot easier.....let's pray that our pitching holds up the next two weekends!....

Just like our indoor facility...all turf - even the brown stuff - no dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
