The No. 11 Kansas State Wildcats continued to make their mark during the Big 12 Tournament after upsetting No. 7 Texas Christian in a straightforward 9-4 game.
On a mostly clear, crisp 77-degree night, the stadium lights beaming onto the field signified the stage was set for No. 11 Kansas State to compete in the Big 12 Tournament.
Tanner Duke got the evening started for Kansas State on the mound, but that didn’t faze Omaha. The Mavericks built momentum early, as they started the top of the first with two runs and a home run to deep center field from designated hitter Nick Riggs. The Wildcats stayed quiet during the bottom of the first, responding with zero runs.
