AUSTIN, Texas. – The Wichita State softball team fell to No. 20 Michigan in a run-rule, 11-0 loss, on day two of the Texas Invitational.

In the second Michigan added three more on a triple and two singles with the Shockers going down in order in the second and third.

In the fourth Neleigh Herring drew a walk in her second career appearance at the plate (two walks in two appearances), Ashton Esparza singled into center field for the second and final hit for the Shockers. A fielder's choice 6-5 got Michigan out the inning.

In the bottom half the Wolverines added two more to push the lead to 11 on a double and two singles before getting the Shockers down in order in the fifth to end the game as a run-rule.
