Preview: Bobcats Back In The Buck To Face Tigers

BUCKHANNON, W.Va. – West Virginia Wesleyan Softball will be back home tomorrow evening to face the Salem Tigers for a doubleheader. The games were originally scheduled to be played on the road but bad playing conditions forced the matchup to be played at Culpepper Field. The Bobcats swept the Tigers in a doubleheader earlier in the season.

THE SCHEDULE
Tuesday vs Salem at 4 & 6 p.m.

THE BOBCATS
Wesleyan enters (34-11) overall after sweeping their doubleheaders with Wheeling and West Liberty on the road this past weekend.

The Bobcat offense is led by Morgan Norris, who is hitting .383 with 51 hits, 11 doubles, three triples, 8 HR, 43 RBI and a 1.147 OPS. Andie Dizon, Alyssa Souders and Kaitlyn Rizor all have 2 HR and Taylor Swartz is second on the team with 21 RBI. After a strong start on Sunday, Abigail O'Shields has lowered her ERA to 2.13, which is 3rd on the team behind Kendall Stoffel (1.06) and Hannah Hudson (1.38).

SALEM TIGERS
The Tigers enter (17-24) overall, lastly defeating Bluefield State on Saturday in both games of a doubleheader.

Sierra Chapa carries an impressive .413 average with 50 hits and 14 RBI. Meesha Arroyo leads the team in HR with three and is in a three-way tie for the team lead in RBI at 19.
