TicketsMANHATTAN, Kan. — Eight-straight wins, including six on the road, came to an end Sunday afternoon as Kansas State thwarted Cincinnati's offense in a 5-2 decision.
Cincinnati scored twice in the second inning, by virtue of a Cal Sefcik single and Christian Mitchelle groundout, and it was all the Bearcats could manage.
K-State bounced back with a two-run homer in the third, followed by an RBI single in the fourth and two-run double in the fifth.
K-State starter James Guyette, previously the Wildcats' Friday night starter, allowed two hits with 13 strikeouts and one walk in a complete game.
Cincinnati had won each of its last three Connor Blue starts. He went 3 2/3 innings, allowing three earned runs. Dillon Schueler relieved him and yielded the final two before three other Bearcats closed it out.
Cincinnati closes the regular season in a home series against Texas Tech, beginning Thursday night.
