The Wildcats come to town for a 3 game series beginning tomorrow with a 3PM start. BCC is 4-3 so far this year, losing a series with Jacksonville (1-2) and a single game with Stetson.

Saturday starter Dustin Blackwell has had as good a start as you are gonna see: 2-0, 0.60 ERA, has allowed only 2 hits in 15 innings, with opponents batting .043 against him. Wow. Francisco Gomez has 2 saves.
BCC's team batting average is .310. UT's is .212 so far this year. Both teams have only 2 team HR.
