SLC Tournament Quick Hitters:
• With a win today, SFA would advance to its first SLC Tournament title game.
• SFA's Jarid Scarafiotti is 7-for-12 with a homer and five RBI in the first two games of the SLC Tournament. SFA's 18 hits in Thursday's win over UTSA is the most by any team in the tournament so far.
• In the regular season series between the Islanders and the Lumberjacks, SFA blasted TAMUCC in each game, run-ruling TAMUCC in Corpus Christi each time. In all, SFA outscored the Islanders 47-13 in those three games in April.
• SFA comes into this year's tournament as the No. 2 overall seed, the highest seed the program has ever managed to receive.
• David Jeans is the only Lumberjack to ever earn all-tournament honors, doing so in the 2007 tournament. Jeans went 5-for-5 in SFA's second-round win over McNeese State in one of the greatest individual performances in SFA baseball's history.
• SFA is looking to become the first No. 2 seed to win the SLC Tournament. In fact, the highest seed to win the tournament since 2005 has twice occurred with No. 4 seeds winning the event.
• Since the league went back to playing a conference tournament in 1993, high seeds have not fared well. Only once - Lamar in 2004 - has the regular season champion won the tournament, while a No. 2 seed has never taken they tourney title. The No. 3 and No. 4 seed have each won six titles since 1993, while Sam Houston State was the lowest to ever do it when the Bearkats won last year's tournament as a No. 7 seed.
