A Look at the Lumberjacks
After taking on a tough Big 12 team in Kansas State on opening weekend, the Lumberjacks rebounded with a statement win against Prairie View A&M University. The 'Jacks look to carry the momentum from their last win onto this weekend.

His 12 hits came in 23 at-bats, putting him at a .522 batting average. Parker currently sits at a 1.281 OPS, thanks to his one home run and two doubles that he collected this past weekend.
Alex Rodgers had SFA debuting week to remember as he collected nine hits (two home runs and two doubles) on 21 at-bats to put him at a .429 average and a 1.310 OPS. The lead-off hitter drove in five RBI's, scored eight times, and stole two bases on the weekend.
Tom Biggs collected the hits when it matter the most, as he picked up seven RBI's in the first five games and leads the team in that statistic. Biggs' seven hits puts him at a .389 average heading into the weekend.
