OKWU Baseball Opens KCAC Tournament in Joplin
Brian McSweeney
Oklahoma Wesleyan baseball opens up the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference tournament in Joplin, Missouri on Wednesday.
OKWU enters the tournament as co-champions of the regular season title with Kansas Wesleyan, but the Eagles have the 1-seed and get the automatic bid into the NAIA postseason after beating KWU during the regular season. They finished 43-7 overall in the regular season and 30-6 in conference play.
OKWU wrapped up the regular season with a series win over Ottawa University last weekend.
The Eagles will open the conference tournament against the 8-seed Avila University. Avila finished the regular season 20-25 and 17-19 in conference play. OKWU swept Avila when the two met in Kansas City in mid-March.
First pitch is set for 6:15 p.m. from Joe Becker Stadium in Joplin. This is a double-elimination tournament.
The Eagles are the defending KCAC tournament champions.
