    ESPNU is carrying the game between Kansas State and Wichita State in Manhattan, Kansas. Huge crowd for this in-stater. KSU looked nervous in the field in the top of the first, and the Shockers quickly jumped out to a 2-0 lead. I thought, "this could be an upset in the making."

    Then KSU got to bat. After one full inning, the Wildcats lead the Shockers 9 to 2.

    The SEC is now 0-3. In Bloomington, Austin Peay beats Florida 4-3.

    What a day for the OVC, the CAA, and the Sun Belt! Those conferences have combined to go 4-1, while the SEC has yet to win a game.
