I'm doing a blog post of the radio station The Wildcat 91.9 and here is a weekend preview of an important series for the 'Cats as take on #8 Baylor team that is unbeaten in conference play.
K-State vs. #8 Baylor (May 13-15th): The 'Cats resume conference play this weekend on Friday as they take on the Baylor Bears who stand in the top 10 nationally in the country at #8 with a record of 27-7. And Baylor riding a wave of momentum winning 16 straight games and coming of a series Wednesday night sweeping Louisiana-Munroe in 2 games. K-State head coach Brad Hill and company will have there hands full playing the best of the best in the Big 12 conference. Meanwhile on Wednesday night the 'Cats lost in Springfield, Missouri as they lost to Missouri State 3-0 dropping the 'Cats record to now 17-15 on the season after last weekend sweeping the 3-game series against Sacred Heart at Tointon Family Stadium. If the 'Cats are going to snapped the Bears long winning streak this weekend, they will need there bats to come alive which the offense has been up and down this season up to this point. The 'Cats need consistent pitching as well if they are going to stay with a national ranked team like the Bears. K-State has four players who are in the top 15 in batting average. Led by centerfielder Jared King coming off a 3 for 4 game Wednesday night against Missouri State. Conference resumes for the 'Cats Friday night at 6:30 at Tointon Family Stadium. Games on Saturday and Sunday begin at 1pm. Friday's game is Military Appreciation Night; Military personal can get general admission for $3.
