College Baseball: Texas State at Sam Houston State (By the Numbers)

  • Tyler Sibley is coming into his own for the Bobcats. Sibley rapped out six hits in 14 at-bats and scored six runs. He also walked twice.
  • Bret Atwood is on a tear. Atwood continued his hot hitting from the game with Texas Tech into this weekend. He collected seven hits in 16 at-bats and drove in three runners. That's not bad production out of the No. 2 spot in the lineup.
  • Something might have got into Jason Martinson. He struggled to find his swing early, but Martinson is raking in the hits now. Martinson went 4 for 5 with three runs scored in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader and upped his average to .306. In comparison, Martinson batted .205 at the start of the series with Penn State.
  • Brian Borski needs to get it together on the mound. Borski, who was pulled from the weekend rotation, allowed 3 ER in less than an inning pitched. His earned-run averaged rose to 7.59.
  • Carson Smith cemented his place in the weekend rotation with his Friday start. Smith pitched 7 2/3 innings, struck out five and allowed eight hits. While Sam Houston State tagged him for five runs, the Bearkats' runs crossed the plate in the seventh and eighth innings. On another positive note, Smith induced 12 ground-out outs.
