The Wichita State baseball team will begin its inaugural season in the American Athletic Conference in perhaps the most difficult way possible: with a three-game road series with East Carolina starting on Thursday at 5:30 p.m.
East Carolina (18-5) is a consensus top-20 team in the college baseball rankings and just took two of three on the road at Central Florida, another top-25 team and the defending AAC champions
Wichita State (18-4) enters the series on a six-game winning streak and fresh off a 9-6 win at Central Arkansas, its fifth road win of the season — already matching last season's road win total.
