Kansas Wesleyan will look to win its first KCAC Baseball Regular Season championship since 2011 this weekend as the No. 22 ranked Coyotes head to Leavenworth to take on the University of Saint Mary Spires on Friday and Saturday in the final regular season series of the season.

The Coyotes currently sit in first place in the KCAC by a game over McPherson in the conference standings. KWU is 24-6 in the KCAC, McPherson is 23-7.

A lot remains to be decided atop the conference standings heading into the week’s final series, but as long as KWU and McPherson finish at least the same record over the weekend, KWU will be the KCAC Champion and No. 1 seed in next week’s KCAC tournament in Great Bend.

The KCAC Tournament is at the Great Bend Sports Complex in Great Bend and runs May 3-6. Three games will be played each day, starting at 11 a.m. each day. Tickets and tournament information will be posted soon at kcacsports.com.

Four key series remain on the Kansas Conference’s final weekend of play. KWU is at Saint Mary, McPherson hosts York, Ottawa hosts Bethany, and Tabor is at Friends.
