Chip off the old turf: WKU Baseball enters 2017 season with added motivation

Last season, newly hired WKU Baseball head coach, John Pawlowski entered media day eager to elevate the baseball program to perennial Conference USA contenders. This season, Pawlowski and the Tops entered media day with a chip on their shoulder.

Fresh off a 24-30 season and missing the conference tournament for a second straight season, the Tops will look to continue to build on their trying 2016 season.

One goal coach Pawlowski stressed during media day on Tuesday was the importance of continuing on to the conference tournament. It’s a milestone the program has failed to reach since moving from the Sun Belt to C-USA.
