JACKSONVILLE STATE GAMECOCKS
The Gamecocks enter the week after dropping their weekend series against Florida Gulf Coast University, but Jacksonville State dominated FGCU on Saturday after putting up 14 runs on 14 hits through eight innings to even out the series.
Javon Hernandez (.429), Derrick Jackson (.357) and Bear Madliak (.348) hold the top three batting averages for the Gamecocks. Hernandez sits with the most hits (67), runs (40) and triples (3). Five players sit with a .400 or better on-base percentage while seven hold a .430 plus slugging percentage. T.J. Reeves sits with the most RBIs (40) for Jacksonville State.
Jacksonville State's starting pitcher is to be determined at this time.
