Bolivar, Mo. - The SBU Baseball team will host their second straight NSIC team of the season. The Bearcats will look to get the season record back above .500 after winning just 1 out of 3 from Wayne State.

SCOUTING THE BEARCATS
The Southwest Baptist University Bearcats are coming off a 19-31 (10-23 MIAA) finish last season. The athletics program has made the move from the MIAA to the GLVC, going from 14 to 16 teams in the conference. A solid, veteran pitching staff returns for the Bearcats, Dalton Morrow, Drew Wagner, Kyle Smith, and Cole Van Every. Leading the Bearcats offensively will be Brett Mitchell, Sam Avila, Blake Hobbs, Jackson Soule, and Blake Lutgen. Last season the Bearcats played against a few GLVC teams, going 2-1 against Maryville who finished 2nd in the GLVC last year, beating Drury 9-2, and sweeping McKendree with scores of 15-1 and 5-3.

SCOUTING THE WARRIORS

The Warrior of Winona State take the long drive from Minnesota to Bolivar for a 3 game matchup with the Bearcats. The Warriors are coming off of one of their best seasons in recent years. Winona State finished 26-23 for the first winning season since 2014. The Warriors won a few games in the NSIC tournament but eventually fell to Minot State. Winona State has currently beat old MIAA conference foe Pitt State along with current conference rival Drury. The Bearcats will look to hit well against a pitching core that has struggled early with a combined ERA of 5.40.
