SAN ANTONIO – A career-high seven RBIs from senior Camryn Compton powered Wichita State to a 13-5 win over the UTSA Roadrunners on Sunday afternoon at Roadrunner Field.
 
The win clinched the regular season series win for the Shockers (15-15, 4-5) over UTSA (14-16, 2-7).
 
In the top of the first, the first three Shockers reached base, and Taylor Sedlacek opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly that brought Ellee Eck home. 
 
Immediately after, Compton belted the first of two home runs on a no-doubt, three-run home run over the wall in center to quadruple the Shocker lead to 4-0. Later, Krystin Nelson capped off the fantastic start for Wichita State with an RBI single through the left side of the infield, making it a 5-0 lead for WSU.
 
UTSA answered the big inning with a big hit of their own, a two-run homer to center, making it a 5-2 score through the first inning.
 
The Shockers responded with two sacrifice flies in the second, one from Compton and one from Gabby Scott to take a 7-2 lead.
 
In the third, the Shocker onslaught continued as Lauren Lucas drove in a run on a bloop single and then Compton delivered again, blasting another three-run home run, giving WSU an 11-2 lead through the top of the third.
 
Moving to the bottom half, UTSA quickly loaded the bases against Shocker starter Ryley Nihart, scoring three runs to cut the Shocker lead to 11-5.
 
In the fifth, Sedlacek immediately re-extended the Shocker advantage to eight runs with a monster two-run home run to right-center field, giving WSU a 13-5 lead.
 
Needing three outs to end the game, Nihart stranded a leadoff walk to wrap the game up in five innings.
 
All but one Shocker starter recorded a hit with Lucas going 3-for-4 with a double and her RBI. Compton's two home runs were a career-best, while her seven RBIs were the most by any Shocker in a single game this season.
