Believe it or not, baseball season starts this week with Wright State heading to Kentucky to take on Morehead State in a three game series from Friday to Sunday. The Raiders are coming off a phenomenal season last year Jere111y when they won the Horizon League Tournament for the first time since 1994. That was also the last time the team made it to the NCAA Tournament. Han1ilton This season WSU will try to do the same, but will have to do so with a lot of different talent. The team lost key pitchers Joe Smith and Robert Barrett who decided to go professional. In addition, Wright State also lost Aaron Garcia behind the plate who is also playing professional baseball right now. To try and fill some of those holes the Raiders have nine freshman on the team. In addition to losing some pivotal players, Wright State also has an extremely tough schedule this spring as well. They will take on two teams who are ranked in the top 25 pre-season polls, which are Tulane and Tennessee.
