WICHITA, Kan. – Wichita State homered three times to claim a 9-3 win in the series finale vs. North Texas Sunday afternoon at Wilkins Stadium.

Wichita State (13-13, 2-4) secured its first conference series win of the season, winning the final two games against the Mean Green.

Camryn Compton drove in a career-high four RBI to go with a home run and a single. Lauren Lucas was 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBIs and another three runs scored. Gabby Scott rounded out a solid weekend with her first career home run, a two-run shot to center.

Taylor Sedlacek walked three times, tying a career high for the second straight game.

Ryley Nihart (1-3) recorded her first collegiate win in 5.0 innings. She allowed two runs on only four hits and one walk, while striking out a pair.

Wichita State opened the scoring in the bottom of the second on Brookelyn Livanec's sac fly to left.

In the third, Wichita State broke it open on Compton's three-run shot and two batters later Scott followed suit with a two-run blast to make it 6-0.

After another scoreless frame for Nihart in the top of the fourth, Wichita State went up 8-0 on Lucas' two-run home run down the left field line.

Heading to the top of the fifth with the run-rule in play, North Texas put its leadoff on base via walk and then Madison Conley belted a two-run homer over the wall in center to erase the shutout and run-rule.

Compton got a run back in the bottom of the sixth on a high, deep single to left, scoring Lucas. Wichita State stranded the bases loaded to end the sixth, sending the game to the seventh.

The first pitch of the seventh was crushed to center off the bat of Riley McNemar, cutting it to 9-3, but that would do it for the Mean Green in the seventh.
