BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -
Down The Strech They Come!!!
BGSU heads to Buffalo this weekend for a three-game MAC series. With six conference games remaining, the Falcons are 2.5 games back from Western Michigan for the sixth and final post-season slot in the MAC tournament. The Broncos will host Central Michigan over the weekend. The Brown and Orange also trail Ohio, but finish off the season with a three-game series against the Bobcats that could have huge post-season implications.
Hot Bats
Bowling Green has banged out 23 runs on 28 hits in two games this week, good for a .373 team batting average. Junior Josh Stewart recorded six RBI with a 1.111 slugging percentage in wins over Oakland and Wright State.

Fearsome Foursome
It may have taken awhile for the Falcon pitching rotation to shake out, but now that its set, things look good for BGSU down the stretch. All three starters' conference ERA's are among the nine lowest in the MAC. Freshmen Marty Baird (2.84 ERA) and Junior Alan Brech (3.11) are slotted eighth and ninth while Freshman Brian Hangbers's 2.29 ERA is good for fourth best in the conference. Also, Junior Tyler Johnson's four MAC saves are the second most in the conference.
