The teams
The Panthers are 19-12 (5-7 CCS). LC dropped the last series they played 2-1 to Piedmont University (April 19-20). With 99 at bats this season, Rhett Mixon has posted a team-high .364 hitting average and .950 OPS. One thing that stands out about this year's team is how smart they have been base running. On 52 attempted steals, the Panthers have reached the base safely 47 times (90% success rate). Looking at the other side of the coin, opponents have succeeded with 34 stolen bases on 46 attempts (74% success rate). Senior Dalton Brooks and sophomore Eli Folds have both been solid on the rubber this season. In 51.1 innings pitched, Brooks sits with a team-best 2.81 and 6-1 W/L record. Folds has appeared in an incredible 17 games for the Panthers this season. In 32.2 innings, the closing pitcher has a 2.84 ERA and a 3-1 W/L record. The Scots of Maryville College are 20-11 (10-1 CCS) and they are coming off a third straight CCS series sweep over Covenant College (April 19-20). With 113 at bats, Jacob Johnston leads the Scots with a .407 hitting average with a solid .959 OPS. Xavier Resto has been one of the top pitchers for MC. In 33 innings pitched, Resto has a 2.73 ERA and a 3-1 W/L record (12 appearances). Note- The Scots are in Ohio taking on Mount St. Joseph University and Hanover College prior to the series at LaGrange (April 23-24).
