Thanks to those scrubs in Ames who decided that they wanted to be the only Big 12 school without a baseball team back in the early 2000’s like a bunch of losers, your Kansas State Wildcats will take a break from Big 12 play this weekend for a series against UC Irvine. The Cats and the Anteaters haven’t played since 2008 when they split a mid-week series in Manhattan. UCI enters the weekend at 21-13 and 9-6 in the Big West, and that record includes a win over Oregon State in Corvallis, as well as a sweep of Arizona State in a mid-week series.
