Now 21 games into what it expected to be a season of improvement, the WKU baseball team isn’t quite where it wants to be.
The Hilltoppers (7-14 overall, 1-2 Conference USA) have gotten off to a shaky start, struggling to find and maintain a consistent rhythm. WKU has had just one winning streak extend past a single game – with that being two in the first series of the year – while currently having a trio of three-match losing streaks.
With not a single midweek victory (0-4) under its belt, the Toppers return to the diamond on Tuesday evening, as they’ll host Southeastern Conference foe Kentucky (15-6, 3-0 SEC) at Bowling Green Ballpark, home of the Class-A Tampa Bay Rays Minor League affiliate Bowling Green Hot Rods.
