Share on RSS

 

Oklahoma Wesleyan baseball is getting hot at the right time, riding an eight game win streak with seven games left in the regular season.
 
The Eagles enter their second-to-last weekend of conference play with an overall record of 28-14, and a 19-10 record in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC). 
 
They have scored at least seven runs in each game during the current streak, led in part by Wally Diaz with 20 home runs this season.
 
Head coach Kirk Kelley talks about Diaz's power and the team's plate approach.
 
The Eagles are in a battle for second place in the KCAC standings with Friends University. The Eagles beat the Falcons two out of three times in a series in mid-March. OKWU won't be able to pass conference leader Kansas Wesleyan, sitting at 26-4 in conference play.
 
Kelley talks about the mindset during the battle for playoff positioning.
 
OKWU starts a three-game series with Avila on Friday at Bill Doenges Memorial Stadium at 3 p.m.
