Baseball Travels for Baylor Midweek Duel

WACO, Texas - Coming off a series victory over HCU, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi's baseball program heads north to face Baylor at Baylor Ballpark in its first midweek game in over three weeks.

"We are excited for a Wednesday opportunity to play a Big 12 team," said head coach Scott Malone. "We feel like our year is playing out well and we have some momentum and it'll be a challenge to try and keep it going on the road at Baylor."

A&M-Corpus Christi has claimed three consecutive series in conference play, starting with 
New Orleans and continuing through Lamar and HCU, the latter two on the road. Each of the series has come down to a Sunday rubber match and has elevated the Islanders to fourth in the conference standings.

Senior Brendan Ryan collected his eighth triple over the weekend to remain second in the nation in the category. In addition to the triples earned, he own 11 doubles and five home runs for 24 extra-base hits on the season.

The team leads the conference in hits with 435 on the season and a batting average at 0.297. As a unit, the Islanders are fifth in the nation in triples at 21.

In the prior two weeks, due to inclement weather, the games have been canceled against UH Victoria and UT Arlington.

Baylor holds a 15-29 record coming into the week with a game against Abilene Christian Tuesday night. The Bears are 6-4 in midweek games in the 2023 campaign thus far.

The duel starts at 6:30 p.m. and will be streamed on ESPN+ with a subscription with live stats to follow along with.
