A Look at the Lumberjacks
The Lumberjacks are coming off a series loss against New Orleans to open up conference play. Last weekend, the 'Jacks lost a close game one, 3-2, but responded in a big way on Saturday in game two, run-ruling the Privateers. In the rubber game on Sunday, they lost another close one, 3-2, to drop the series. Josh Ibe had another great weekend against New Orleans, batting .500 with a 1.783 OPS. He also hit his third homer on the year while driving in five runs. On the season, Ibe is leading the team in batting average (.462), OPS (1.615), slugging percentage (.1.000), on-base percentage (.615), home runs (3), and RBI (15). His slugging percentage is leading the conference and eighth in the nation, while his on-base percentage is first in the SLC and tenth nationally. Dante Turgeon also had a great weekend against New Orleans, hitting .400 with a 2.225 OPS. He also slugged his first two home runs while driving in five runs. On the year, Dante is hitting .318 with a 1.126 OPS, which ranks second on the team. His .682 slugging percentage also ranks second to Ibe for the team lead.

Templeton pitched a season-high 7.1 innings, giving up two earned runs while striking out six batters. His season ERA is down to 2.21, and he leads the team in innings pitched (20.1) and strikeouts (19).
