WSU released its baseball schedule today. Find it here.
The home schedule features two primo weekend series against Peppedine and Long Beach State. Hope for good weather. Nebraska and Oklahoma State also visit Eck Stadium. The Shockers go on the road to TCU. The big road MVC series is at Missouri State in mid-April. Creighton, which should also be an MVC contender, comes to Wichita for the last regular-season series. The Shockers play ORU four times, which is a good series for both schools.
The schedule features an unusual stretch of five-games-in-five-days from from Feb. 27-March 3. Beyond that, I like the way the mid-week games set up. WSU plays single games against Kansas, Nebraska, ORU and Oklahoma in March and April. That should make pitching matchups more even. Only twice does WSU play different opponents on back-to-back nights (OSU-OU in April and KU-ORU in May).
