A LOOK AT THE BLUE RAIDERS
Middle Tennessee State, led by Head Coach Steve Peterson, enters the weekend with a 2-3 record after a three-game home series against Jacksonville State last weekend and a two-game stint at Samford mid-week.
Wayne Kendrick is batting .474 with four RBI while Adam Warren has also started off hot with a .313 batting pace and team-leading seven runs batted in.
Senior Matt Scott got the nod as starter for the Blue Raiders in the season opener against Jacksonville State and allowed just one run in six innings. He surrended two doubles and a run in the top of the first before settling down and retiring 14 of the the next 15 batters.

Trio of Deniors to Captain `07 Falcon Squad
Senior tri-captains Eric Lawson, Tyler Johnson and Josh Dietz bring a lot of game experience to the table, combining for 288 games played during their Falcon careers. Lawson served as a captain last season as well, leading the team in batting average (.355), on-base percentage (.469), homeruns (five), slugging percentage (.511) and walks (32). The Milford, Ohio native sports a .355 career batting average and a .455 OBP through his first three seasons as a Falcon. Johnson paced the Falcons with six saves out of the bullpen a year ago. Johnson's career strikeout to walk ratio is just below 3:1. In 2004, he posted a 2.49 ERA in 13 appearances as a sophomore. Dietz hit .325 in `07, including a .455 hitting percentage. He excels defensively as well, evidenced by his .990 career fielding efficiency.
Fast Out of the Gates
The Brown and Orange have a recent history of starting off hot, including a six-game winning streak to begin last season, an 8-1 start to the `05 season and capturing the victory in five of their first six games in 2004. Bowling Green's six-game stretch a year ago had its fair share of drama, beginning with an extra-inning win at Murray State, followed by a 1-0 triumph in the season-opening double-header. Trailing 4-2 at Dayton, Andrew Foster hit a grand slam for a 6-4 win, only to be out done by a four-run bottom of the ninth that gave BGSU a 5-4 come-from-behind win over Penn State.
