Final regular season home series of the year for the Bulldogs this weekend when they'll play host to Western Kentucky.
Friday | 6 PM
Saturday | 2 PM
Sunday | 1 PM
All 3 games will be on ESPN+/SportsTalk 97.7 FM.
WKU has a 1-game lead over Tech & DBU in the conference standings right now.
Notes on Tech
Cole McConnell, Dalton Davis, Adarius Myers, Jorge Corona, Ethan Bates, Logan McLeod, Kasten Furr, Reed Smith, Sam Brodersen, Isaac Crabb, Greg Martinez, & Brenton Thiels will be playing their final home series at the Love Shack this weekend.
Tech will start Reed Smith, Luke Nichols, and Grant Hubka on the mound this weekend.
It will be interesting to see how Tech covered those middle innings that Hubka has gotten on the weekend all year. That's a massive key to the series for me. Need Hooks, Copeland, and Havern to step.
Logan McLeod will likely be back on the roster this weekend, but Grant Comeaux is expected to start at 3B. Comeaux is the starter at 3B.
Notes on WKU
Marc Rardin has done a tremendous job at WKU in his 2 years. The Hilltoppers have won 30 games in back-to-back years for the first time since 2010/2011.
The Hilltoppers make their money with a 4.80 ERA on the mound, which ranks 40th nationally.
The starting pitchers don't "wow" you with ERAs in the mid-5s, Bimbi is a lefty on Saturday with good K numbers. Dawson Hall started against MTSU a couple weeks ago on Sunday, he has a 1.80 ERA. Doesn't have a ton of innings, may have been hurt earlier in year but I'm not sure.
Mason Burns has 14 saves, tied with Bates for the lead nationally. He's given up 33 hits in 29.1 innings, but he doesn't have 42 K.
Offensively, no one in the lineup is going to blow you away by any means. Leading HR guy only has 6. Leading RBI guy only has 36. The will bunt A TON. They lead the country with 65 sacrifice bunts. When they bunt, take the out. It's a free out.
Throw strikes, play good defense and you'll have success against them on the mound.
