Hilltoppers drop final two games of season, fall out of conference tournament

WKU baseball suffered a season-ending series loss at the hands of Florida Atlantic, who eliminated the Hilltoppers from contention to make the Conference USA Tournament.

The Hilltoppers dropped the first two games of the weekend before the third game of the series was canceled due to weather.

The losses dropped WKU to 10th in the C-USA standings, with the top eight making the conference tournament. WKU was once as high as fourth in the standings before losing 10 out of the last 11 games to fall out of the tournament picture.

In the first game of the series, held at FAU, the Hilltoppers got off to an early lead in the top of the first before giving up nine runs in the second and another in the third to fall behind early 10-1.
