SE: Wicks Headed to Chicago & K-State Baseball History

It was always going to be tough to beat his old summer job.

This time last year, Jordan Wicks was heading to work at a Dairy Queen near his hometown in Conway, Arkansas, a place owned by former K-State pitcher Scott Stroth, who coached Wicks in Little League on a team called, what else, the DQ Crushers. 

 "There's a lot of people I'm thankful for. [K-State Head] Coach Hughes and [K-State Pitching Coach] Buck [Taylor] were here this weekend, I made sure they knew I'm not in this situation without them," Wicks said. "Scott is one of those guys that will always be one of the biggest people that molded me, not only into the player that I am, but the person."
