MARTIN, Tenn.- The University of Tennessee at Martin baseball team is set for two midweek contests when it hosts Alabama A&M on Tuesday, April 1 at 3 p.m. and Murray State on Wednesday, April 2 at 3 p.m.
Â
UT Martin (10-18) is looking for a season sweep over the Bulldogs and a series split with the Racers. The Skyhawks continue to lead the Ohio Valley Conference in stolen bases (57) and triples (11) while ranking among the league's best in batting average (.278) and hits (255).
Â
Arderrius Townsend has reached base safely in 10 consecutive games (season-best) and holds the team-lead in round trips with six (tied for eighth in OVC). Jalen Fithian and TJ Grines have shown off their speed and hitting ability, combining for 31 stolen bases and 55 hits. Brody Capps' team-high 26 RBIs is good enough for third most in the conference.
Â
Righty Jacob Sitton leads the Skyhawks with 27 strikeouts and 11 batters stuck out looking (third in OVC), and relief pitcher Kaleb Baskin has six outings with no earned runs allowed. Mason Shropshire leads the team in calls out of the bullpen (12) and has fanned 17 batters in 15.2 innings. The pitching staff as a whole is second in shutouts in the conference (three).
Â
Alabama A&M (8-19) is led offensively by redshirt junior Trey Rutledge who is batting .429 with 23 walks and an OPS of 1.138 and Jaiden Proper paces the team in strikeouts with 27. Murray State (15-8) is fifth in the country in doubles per game (2.70) with Jonathan Hogart leading the team in that category (16). On the mound for the Racers, Kane Elmy has pitched in six contests while posting a 3.57 ERA.
