History against Kansas State: This will be only the second time the two teams will face-off against one another, with the last coming back in 2014. The Dons would come out on top against the Wildcats with a 7-6 victory.
Senior Day: As it is every final home series of the year, USF will be honoring their seven seniors that will graduate this week. Please come out to Benedetti Diamond as we watch our seniors play on the Hilltop for the final time. We will be honoring
Brady Bate,
Thomas Caulfield,
Grant Goodman,
Brendan Jenkins,
Michael Perri,
Aaron Ping and
Ross Puskarich.
Change of staff: On Thursday,
Thomas Ponticelli will be given a rest and freshman
Haydn King will get the start to kick off the series. This will be King's fourth start of the season, while is 11
th total appearance in his first year on the Hilltop. King has seen a lot of action out of the bullpen toward the end of the season, pitching in four games over a nine-day span. Friday and Saturday's starter's will remain the same, with
Riley Ornido and
Landen Bourassa getting the nods in those two games.
In It to Win It: The Dons earned a vital 6-2 win in their final WCC game of the year over BYU, which clinched a spot in the WCC Playoffs. The Dons join Pepperdine, with the final seeding yet to be determined as Gonzaga, LMU and Saint Mary's are all vying for the final two spots in the playoffs. This will be the Dons first trip to Stockton for the WCC playoffs since 2013 where they made it to the final game before losing to San Diego, 0-2. USF would earn a NCAA berth to the 2013 Regionals in Eugene, Ore.
