Thievery Denied

He has caught at least one runner stealing in each game thus far, including three against Army on Feb. 19.

Going Deep
The Green Wave has hit six home runs in the first four games of the season, including four against Southeastern Louisiana on Feb. 21. Hunter Williams leads the way with two home runs - both at SLU - while Jarret DeHart, Hunter Hope, Jake Willsey and Grant Witherspoon each have one homer.
