* FGCU moved closer to an Atlantic Sun Championship in baseball this weekend. The Eagles have a four-game lead with six to play. The Eagles need to go 3-3 over the last six to clinch FGCU’s third A-Sun championship in their first year as a Division I program.

* FGCU’s bullpen has been very reliable all season. The pen has an 11-4 record, 8 saves and a 2.46 ERA. In this weekend’s series win at Stetson, the Bullpen came through again. FGCU relievers worked 7.0 innings and went 1-0 with a save. They limited the Hatters to three hits and posted a 1.29 ERA.

* Jason Peacock was kept off base for the first time this season in FGCU’s 7-4 loss at Stetson on Saturday night. The senior 1B has only been held hitless six times, but in each of the previous five games he had reached safely via walks and hit-by-pitch. He has been aboard safely at least twice in 33 of his 43 games this season and leads the A-Sun in on base percentage at .534.

* FGCU has not been shutout since 4/9/05, a span of 172 games without being shutout.

* FGCU also recorded their 30th win, the program has reached at least 35 games in each of the previous five seasons. The Eagles need four more wins in their last nine games to reach that mark for the sixth consecutive year.

Gardner-Webb
* Gardner-Webb won its fourth road A-Sun series in a row, taking both ends of Saturday's doubleheader at Kennesaw State, 6-4 and 11-4. GWU has now won consecutive road series at Belmont, ETSU, Mercer and Kennesaw State - posting a 9-3 record in those games.

* Outfielder Brock Miller moved to fifth on GWU's all-time stolen bases list, swiping three at Kennesaw State. The junior now has 43 in his career, and has been successful in 32 of his last 33 attempts, dating back to last season. The Alma, Ga., native has been thrown out just four times in his career at Gardner-Webb (43-of-47).

* Miller ranks among the A-Sun leaders and paces Gardner-Webb with eight outfield assists in 2008. Miller has also played second base, shortstop and third base in 2008, and has totaled 15 assists in the infield.

* Slugger Justin Loyd has been sizzling in his last 10 games, batting .425 with 10 runs scored, three home runs and eight RBI. The Laurinburg, N.C., junior is among the A-Sun's best this season with a .375 batting average, seven home runs and 41 RBI - in addition to flashing strong leather at third base.

* In his last seven outings, junior Phillip Myers has tossed 15.1 innings in six relief appearances and one start, posting a 2.87 ERA and a 1-0 record. He has struck out nine and walked four.

* Junior Eric Guillen is one hit shy of becoming the 25th player in school history to record 50 hits in two seasons in his career.

* Senior Andrew Runion’s nine homers this year are the most since Kyle Bowley hit nine as a freshman in 2004. No Spartan has hit 10 homers in a season since Callahan Morden hit 11 in 1999.

* Freshman Blake Green is 26th in the nation and second in the A-Sun in sacrifice bunts, laying down 11 this season.

* Senior Scott Eckard’s 13 career complete games are four more than the next closest, as Eric Hunter finished nine starts from 1986-89.

Stetson
*This past week the Hatters hosted a pair of mid-week games versus the #3 Florida State Seminoles and then a weekend series with Florida Gulf Coast. After falling 13-3 to FSU Tuesday night, the Hatters came back with a strong effort on Wednesday. Stetson jumped out to a three-run lead on a home run by Brian Pruitt; his first of the season. The home team held the lead going into the 9th inning until the Seminoles scored five runs and won by a score of 6-3.

* Friday night against FGCU Stetson once again held the lead, yet lost it when the Eagles scored a pair of runs in the 9th, and again in the 12th inning to secure the win. On Saturday Stetson controlled the action and defeated FGCU 7-4. Sunday’s rubber-game went to the visitors 5-3.

* Sophomore shortstop Casey Frawley led the offensive effort on the week with a .412 batting average, seven hits, one triple, one home run and three RBI. Justin Bass hit .368 over the week, yet was even more impressive in the FGCU series going 6-for-11 with a double, four runs scored and two RBI. Bass is now batting .389 on the season and leads the A-Sun in hits and doubles. He is now the first Hatter to lead the team in batting other than Jeremy Cruz (.388).

* This week Stetson will host USC Upstate in a very important A-Sun series. Saturday will be senior day for Stetson with Justin Bass, Nick Pugliese, Blake Marsocci, Robbie ElsemillerLouis Michaelos and Josh Clendenin all playing in their final home games.
