KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Fort Hays State baseball team will play as the No. 10 seed in next week's MIAA Championship Tournament, scheduled for May 6-10 in Edmond, Okla. The Tigers will take on seventh-seeded Missouri Western in the opening round on Wednesday, slated for a 1 p.m. first pitch.
Should the Tigers advance in the 10-team, single elimination tournament, they would play at 1 p.m. each day throughout the tournament. FHSU would next draw regular season champion Pittsburg State in the quarterfinal on Thursday.
