The Fort Hays State baseball team will make its home debut on Wednesday, February 13 after a schedule change altered plans to travel to Emporia, Kan. Due to the forecasted low temperatures over the weekend, the Tigers will instead host Wayne State (Neb.) for a three-game midweek series.<\/p>\n

The Tigers have won five-straight meetings with the Wildcats, with the last WSC win coming on Opening Day in 1996.<\/p>\n
