Coach Ken Henderson argues a double play call that ended the sixth inning on April 19, 2015, at Itchy Jones Stadium. Despite arguing the call, the Salukis still led 7-3 over Illinois State University after six innings of play. The Salukis defeated Illinois State 9-7, bringing their record to 9-31 for the season.
The Salukis, coming off a 12-46 season, are the only Valley team without a player named to the Preseason All-Conference Team.
Missouri State, the defending conference champion, is considered the top team in the league after earning five first-place votes. Dallas Baptist received two first-place votes and Wichita State received one.
