Last Time Out
La Salle is coming off an 11-5 win over Delaware on Wednesday afternoon at Hank Devincent Field after taking two of three from Dayton at home last weekend. 
 
Scouting the Explorers
-The Explorers lead the Atlantic 10 in hits (302) and doubles (68), and are tied for the league lead in runs (192) and triples (8)
 -Mark Williams had a big day for the Blue and Gold on Wednesday, finishing 3-for-5 with three runs scored and three RBI's. The senior finished a single shy of the cycle after doubling in the 3rd, tripling in the 4th and homering in the 8th.
 -La Salle has four everyday players hitting over .300: Justin Korenblatt (.411), Cameron Johnson (.368), Ryan Welling (.351), and Williams (.315)
-Korenblatt has reached base safely in his last 35 games dating back to last season
-La Salle owns the top four spots in the Atlantic 10 in RBI's: Josh Savakinus (29), Korenblatt (28), Johnson (26), and Welling (26)
 -Luke Reilly struck out 10 Flyers as La Salle picked up a 7-3 victory over Dayton last Friday. Reilly's 10 strikeouts are the most for an Explorer pitcher since Shawn O'Neill fanned ten against Chicago State on March 17, 2013. The lefty limited the Flyers to just two hits in six innings but was charged with three runs (one earned) after a pair of La Salle fielding errors.
 
Scouting the Eagles
-The Eagles are batting .395 and boast five players hitting better than .400 in games at Allen Field this season.  
-Morehead State hit .457 against Eastern Kentucky last weekend with 41 runs, 58 hits and 20 extra-base knocks.
-Tyler Keele saw action in four games last week and did not allow a run to cross the plate in 7.2 innings. The junior struck out six and collected a three-inning save, his first of the season, on Sunday. Keele has made 10 appearances and boasts a 3.06 ERA.
-Catcher Chris Robinson is on the official Johnny Bench Award Watch List, honoring the nation's top Division I catcher. Robinson hit .600 in the EKU series with three doubles, two triples and a homer.
