Matchup of the Week

March 30-31
Stetson at Kennesaw St.
Kennesaw, Ga.

The Stetson Hatters will take the Atlantic Sun’s best overall record to Kennesaw State to take on the Owls. Kennesaw State is coming off a weekend series win at Jacksonville. Stetson took two of three at home from Mercer. Stetson hasn’t been on the road often in 2007 compiling a 2-2 record. The Owls have a 7-5 record at home. Stetson leads the A-Sun in batting average and ERA. KSU is ranked second in both categories. In other A-Sun matchups, North Florida and Gardner-Webb will both visit teams ranked in the top 15. Tuesday, UNF travels play #1 Florida St., and GWU goes on the road to face #12 Clemson.

A-Sun Player of the Week
C.J. Lee, ETSU (Sr. - OF - Bristol, Va. - Sports Management)
Lee exploded out of an early season slump, hitting .632 (12-19) with a double, two home runs and three RBI while also accruing a stratospheric 1.000 slugging percentage and leading the Bucs to a 3-1 record for the week. The senior outfielder hit both home runs in the Bucs' weekend series victory over North Florida, helping power the 5-0 opening game victory with a third inning home run. His fourth inning solo shot in the series finale started the Bucs' seven-run rally from a 4-1 deficit en route to an 8-4 series clinching triumph.

A-Sun Pitcher of the Week
Brandon Langston, ETSU (Jr. - P - Ringgold, Ga. - Interdisciplinary Studies)
The junior right-hander threw a five-hit shutout in the Bucs series opening victory over North Florida this past weekend. Keeping the Ospreys off balance with a variety of pitches, the Ringgold, Ga. native notched his fifth consecutive win and first career complete game. In addition to allowing just five hits, the interdisciplinary studies major also struck out a career-high eight batters.
