Live Stats: Link
Probable Starters (Fort Wayne, South Dakota State)
Game One: RHP Brandon Phelps (4.25, 3-2) vs. LHP Brady Stover (4.56, 0-1)

Game Three: RHP Shane Odzark (4.29, 1-4) vs. RHP Tyler Olmstead (3.38, 2-1)
Scouting the Mastodons (6-17, 2-7 Summit): Fort Wayne earned a series win over Western Illinois this past weekend thanks to a 3-1 win in game one and a 6-1 victory in game three. The Mastodons never trailed in either game. Brandon Phelps got the win in game one with six innings of five-hit, no-run pitching. His brother Chase Phelps earned the save by throwing the final three innings. Both midweek games scheduled for this week, at Dayton and home against Saint Francis, were canceled.
Scouting the Jackrabbits (4-19, 2-5 Summit): In 29.1 innings pitched, Tyler Olmstead holds a 3.38 ERA. Logan Holtz leads the team with a batting average of .282. Josh Falk falls not far behind with an average of .276. Falk is leading the team with 24 hits on the season.
Hello To The Show Me State: This weekend's series was first moved to Sioux Falls due to unplayable field conditions in Brookings. However with the weather and field conditions in Sioux Falls not looking promising for this weekend, the series was moved to Missouri. The fully artificial turf field at Division II's Missouri Southern State in Joplin, Mo. is now home to the series.
Series History: South Dakota State leads 48-13.
Top Of The Charts: Shannon Baker is first in the Summit League in on-base percentage (.494), second in batting average (.354) and third in walks (19).
Streaking: Travis Upp enters the series with a 17-game on-base streak. It is the longest of the season.
Looking Ahead: The Mastodons will host Butler on April 10 in a 3 p.m. start against the Bulldogs.
