Brian McSweeney
Oklahoma Wesleyan baseball begins the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC) tournament on Wednesday.
The Eagles enter the conference tournament as the 3-seed. They finished the regular season with a record of 33-16 overall, and 24-12 in conference play.
A season ago, OKWU finished as the KCAC regular season champions before falling in the semifinals for Tabor. The Eagles last won this tournament in 2024 as the 3-seed, beating the top seed Kansas Wesleyan, who won the regular season title again this year.
Wally Diaz has been a power at the plate this season for OKWU. He has 22 homeruns this season and 82 RBIs with a batting average of .351. Right behind him is Daurys Manzanillo, he's hitting .385 with 15 homeruns and 61 RBIs. Head coach Kirk Kelley talks about Manzanillo's role in the lineup.
OKWU opens the KCAC tournament against Tabor College at 9 a.m. from Dean Evans Stadium in Salina, Kan.
