WHAT COACH SALSBURG IS SAYING
"The team got back on track offensively yesterday. We look to carry that into the weekend. Defensively we have to focus on each pitch, each out. When we refocus on keeping the game simple we will be back where we expect to be."
FAST START FALCONS
BGSU has now scored 25 first inning runs in the 2015 season. The Falcons started the season having scored 22 first inning runs through the team's first eight games. The Falcons highest scoring first inning was at the Cleveland State Dome Tournament (Feb. 6-8), with 10 against Canisius in BG's third game of the tournament.
LAST TIME OUT
The Falcons rallied from behind multiple times, but Penn was able to seal a 6-5 win against Bowling Green on March 10 in Clearwater, Fla. A 5th-inning run moved the Quakers past the Falcons. Haley Schrock recorded a double and a home run in the contest, scoring two runs and driving in three more. Junior Molly Holliday went 3-for-4 at the plate with one RBI.
FALCON SLUGGERS ABOVE .500
Trista Mokienko leads the team with a .575 slugging percentage this season. Aspen Searle is not far behind in second with a .545. The duo is the only two on the team with over 20 total bases in 2015. Searle has recorded 24 and Mokienko has 23.
CONFERENCE AWARDS
BGSU has received at least one MAC weekly award after two of its three tournaments this season. Junior Braiden Dillow earned MAC Pitcher-of-the-Week honors four weeks ago following the Falcons' season-opening tournament at Cleveland State. Two weeks ago, Mokienko was named MAC Player of the Week, while senior Jamie Kertes earned MAC Pitcher-of-the-Week honors for the East Division.
