Eagles Travel to Salina for KCAC Series
The No. 12 Oklahoma Wesleyan baseball team is set for another conference weekend series against Kansas Wesleyan. The Eagles crushed Randall University 10-0 and 16-2, to move to 27-7 on the season.
Wesleyan’s offense has been a force this season. The Eagles average 9.5 runs per game which is the third best rate in the NAIA. Austin Sojka has been key to the success of the lineup with his .522 batting average which is the second best rate in the country.
The Eagles’ pitching rotation hasn’t been as dominant this year as it had in recent years. However, OKWU head coach Kirk Kelley says this staff is still incredibly reliable.
The top two arms in the rotation, Tyson Cronin and Michael Anderson, are a combined 13-0 on the year with 12 complete games as well. Senior Ryan Sandifer provides great experience in the weekend rotation as well.
The Eagles play KWU in a three-game starting Sunday due to anticipated poor weather over the weekend. OKWU leads the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference by 1.5 games.
