Tech is set to open the home portion of its schedule this weekend against Southern.

First pitch is set for 6 PM Friday, 2 PM Saturday, and 1 PM Sunday. Mother Nature might have different plans, we'll see.

Southern was picked to finish 2nd in the West Divison of the SWAC.

They opened their season by losing 2 of 3 at New Orleans last weekend.

Draft Prospects:

- OF Tremaine Spears -- .500, 1 HR, 3 RBI
- SS Judah Wilbur -- .364, 1 RBI
- SS/3B Bubba Thompson -- 0/11 through 3 games, also picked as the best FR in the league
- IF Jhali Hendricks -- .286, 0 HR, 0 RBI

Spears is a transfer from ULL, he hit .293 for the Cajuns in 2019. Wilbur is a transfer from Chicago State.

Pitching Probables:

FRI -- LHP John Guienze (0-1, 9.00 ERA) vs LHP Jonathan Fincher (1-0, 1.80 ERA)
SAT -- RHP Joseph Battaglia III (1-0, 3.60 ERA) vs RHP Ryan Jennings (0-0, 4.15 ERA)
SUN -- LHP Christian Davis (0-1, 18.00 ERA) vs RHP Jarrett Whorff (0-1, 0.00 ERA)

Tech needs to stay hot at the plate this weekend and get some confidence and momentum going forward. Bulldog hitters struck out 34 times in 3 games last weekend, need to see that number come down some.

Does Burroughs go back to Corona behind the plate?

Getting Gibson and Follis a bounce back outing out of the bullpen is needed.

Stay tuned for weather updates throughout the weekend.
