The Kansas baseball program is on the brink of history this weekend as the No. 7-ranked Jayhawks welcome No. 15 West Virginia to Lawrence this weekend for a monumental home series.
The Jayhawks currently sit atop the Big 12 standings with a 20-4 record (37-12 overall) and can secure the program’s first-ever Big 12 regular season championship with a sweep over the 16-8 Mountaineers. The Jayhawks could win the conference outright with a sweep or by winning two of the three games this weekend if Arizona State (16-8) loses a game in their three-game home series versus Oklahoma State (14-10).
Two wins by the Jayhawks this weekend will secure at least a share of the Big 12 title (regardless of what Arizona State does) – which would be KU’s first conference championship in baseball since winning the Big Seven Conference title in 1949.
Kansas enters this weekend’s series against West Virginia with a perfect 12-0 record at home in conference play this season – the longest Big 12 home winning streak in program…
