Teams on the Upswing - Week 5
D1 Baseball.com
Tennessee Tech
Is there a surprise team in the Ohio Valley? Before the season, the debate at the top of the league was between Austin Peay and Jacksonville State. However, the Golden Eagles are sizzling hot, winners of eight-straight and are an impressive 9-0 in league play after hitting the road and sweeping Austin Peay over the weekend.
And how about hard-hitting Kevin Strohschien? Hes been a consistent contributor for the Eagles thus far, hitting .291 with eight doubles, five homers and 29 RBIs, but hes very much down the list of the teams top hitters. Yeah, theyre that hot right now. Ryan Flick is the name to remember as the season progresses. Flick leads the team by far with a .429 average, while already smacking a ridiculous 17 doubles, hitting seven homers and knocking in 32 runs. Meanwhile, Chase Chambers and Chris Brown each have seven homers, Matt Jones has five and Collin Harris leads the team with eight homers and 22 RBIs, and oh yeah, a solid .347 average.
Tech certainly leaves a little something to be desired on the mound, but there are some quality arms to watch. For instance, reliever Ethan Roberts has bene solid, tallying 22 strikeouts and just four walks in nine appearances and 18.2 innings, while Michael Wood (5.17) is coming off a good start at APSU, where he struck out seven, walked one and allowed two runs on seven hits in seven innings.
