ABILENE - Abilene Christian baseball returns to the Big Country for the first time in two weeks to kick off Western Athletic Conference play versus California Baptist this weekend. The Wildcats were last at Crutcher Scott Field at Bullock Brothers Ballpark on March 18 and are back to face the WAC frontrunners.

ACU opens the series at 6 p.m. Thursday ahead of a 6 p.m. first pitch on Friday. The teams wrap up at 12 p.m. Saturday, with a postgame Easter egg hunt to follow. Game times are subject to change due to potential inclement weather.

The Wildcats have won their last three weekend series, including a pair on the road at New Mexico and at McNeese. The WAC preseason favorites will meet a Lancers squad tabbed to finish third in the conference's preseason coaches' poll.

Last season, ACU won the final two games of its series with CBU on the last day of the regular season in Riverside, Calif. to clinch a share of the WAC title. The Lancers hold a slight 5-6 edge in the all-time series between the two that began in 2023.
