Scouting the Mastodons:

• Aaron Chapman has a hit in eight of the Mastodons' last nine games.
• Zac Baden leads the team in hitting with a .327 average.
Scouting the Bobcats:
• Ohio split a four-game series with Northern Illinois last weekend. The Bobcats own an 11-9 record in MAC play this season.
• Harry Witwer-Dukes has a team-best .454 on-base percentage this year.
• The Bobcats have hit 26 home runs this season with Isaiah Peterson leading the team with six.
• Look for Edward Kutt IV out of the pen. He has a team-best 14 appearances and owns four saves.
• Joe Rock has a 2.02 ERA in 49.0 innings.
Series History: The Mastodons and Bobcats played in 2002, 2005, 2012 and 2016 with the Bobcats leading 8-4. All 12 games have been played in Athens, Ohio. The Bobcats took 2-of-3 from the Mastodons in 2016.
Nearing 500: Head coach Doug Schreiber spent 18 seasons as the head coach at Purdue and is in his second season at Purdue Fort Wayne. He enters the weekend with 499 career victories.
Oh Myer: Jacob Myer's ranks in the Horizon League: Innings pitched (47.2, 3rd), ERA (3.21, 6th), opposing batting average (.230, 7th) and wins (3, 6th).
Meep, Meep!: Jack Lang owns 12 stolen bases, third in the league.
Walk It Out: Ryan Mollette has only five at-bats on the season, going 2-of-5. But he has five walks, making the most of his visits to the plate. He has five runs scored on the season as he often enters the game as a pinch runner.
Looking Ahead: The Mastodons return to Fort Wayne to play first-place Wright State next weekend.
