Lipscomb heads to Atlanta on Tuesday in a mid-week game looking for a chance to re-gain the positive momentum and resume building that they had to start the year.
Lipscomb kicked off the 2023 season with a big series win vs. Notre Dame at home (!) before taking a series 2-1 again UIC, losing to Tennessee Tech, and then getting swept by Auburn over the weekend. They come into Tuesday's matchup having won just two of their last seven games.
THREE TO WATCH
3B Trace Willhoite- .297/.426/.703 with 4 HR, 14 RBI, 8 BB, 11 K in 37 AB
1B Mason Lungrin- .357/.440/.452 with 0 HR, 6 RBI, 5 BB, 8 K in 42 AB
P Alex Brewer-
3.0 IP vs. Notre Dame with 0 hits, 2 R (0 ER) 1 BB, 5 K
2.0 IP vs. SI with 1 hit, 0 R, 4 K* (only start thus far)
1.1 IP vs. UIC with 3 hits, 3 ER, 3 BB, 2 K
2.2 IP vs. Auburn with 5 hits, 3 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
Not a single batter on the Lipscomb roster has more walks than they do strikeouts, so throwing strikes will be paramount for Dalton Smith and anyone else that pitches. It isn't right to call their offense a one-man show, but Trace is about as close as one can get to that in baseball, leading the team in RBI by 7, and .292 more of an OPS than anyone on the roster.
First pitch at 4PM
