WINFIELD, Kan. – Southwestern College looks to snap a four-game skid as it prepares to host Kansas Wesleyan in a KCAC Matchup. The Moundbuilders (3-12, 1-9) are seeking to find momentum after a tough stretch, while the Coyotes (14-9, 9-3) aim to solidify their strong start to conference play.

Southwestern's offense has shown flashes of power, tallying 10 home runs this season, with junior infielder JJ Cardinal (.358 AVG, 3 HR, 11 RBI) leading the charge. Andrew Brautman (.325 AVG, .550 OBP) has been a steady presence at the plate, while freshman Lucas Knee (.300 AVG, 2 HR, 5 RBI) has provided depth to the lineup.

However, pitching and defense remain major concerns for the Moundbuilders. The team holds a 10.97 ERA.  Defensively, Southwestern has committed 31 errors this season, contributing to their struggles. Their .933 fielding percentage falls short of Kansas Wesleyan's .956, putting added pressure on the pitching staff to limit extra opportunities for the Coyotes.

Kansas Wesleyan, led by Tyler Favretto (.370 AVG, 3 HR, 14 RBI) and Jacob Williamson (.326 AVG, 5 HR, 16 RBI), presents a well-balanced lineup. On the mound, Brett Maddock (4-2, 4.00 ERA) has emerged as a steady presence, providing a challenge for Southwestern hitters.
