TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - Wichita State got a dominant pitching performance in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader at Indiana State from junior Katie Armagost to earn a split of the day's action.

Armagost allowed one unearned run and only four hits in the complete game victory.

A fourth inning leadoff double by Sydney Stuever was the only hit the Wichita State (12-33, 5-14) offense could muster through the first six innings of game one as the Shockers struggled to find a rhythm against Indiana State (17-26, 4-14) starter Lindsey Bessier.

That all changed in the top-of-the seventh inning as the Shockers reeled off four runs on five hits bringing all nine batters to the plate. Rachel Milnark lifted a one-out double down the left field line and Hayley Temple followed with a single to right field to advance Milnark to third base to get things started. After Temple stole second, Melanie Jaegers hit a chopper over the outstretched arms of the Indiana State shortstop to score both runners and give WSU a 2-0 lead. Brianne Bond kept the inning alive with a single to the second baseman, who made a diving stop but sailed her throw over the first baseman. Jaegers scored on the throwing error to give the Shockers a 3-0 lead. Danika Miller closed out the scoring in the seventh for Wichita State with a sharply hit single to right field plating Bond securing a 4-0 lead.

Indiana State mounted a charge in the bottom-of-the inning loading the bases on a single and two walks. An error by Wichita State allowed the Sycamores to get on the scoreboard and bring the game-winning run to the plate with bases loaded and two outs. However, Armagost remained in command scooping a ground ball up the middle and tossing it to Erin Carney at first base for the final out of the game.

In the second game of the doubleheader the Shockers took an early 1-0 lead in the second inning when Bond's fly ball was dropped by the Indiana State right fielder to score Carney.

Indiana State answered back in the bottom-of-the second with two runs and again with four runs in the third inning to take a 6-1 lead highlighted by Megan Stone's leadoff home run in the third inning.

The Sycamores continued to extend their lead in the fifth inning with a two-run homer by Bessier, making the score 8-1.

Greenlee scored on an error by the Indiana State second baseman for the final run of the game.

The Shockers were unable to answer when opportunities presented themselves leaving nine runners on base.

The series rubber-match will be at noon Sunday at Price Field.
