Know Your Foe
Green Bay is 16-28 and 7-9 in the Horizon League. The Phoenix have won just one Horizon League series this year, but it was the most recent, a trio of game against Youngstown State. The Phoenix are coming off a pair of eight-inning games against St. Thomas, which they split. Green Bay is 4-14 away from home. Tiffany Giese is batting a team-best .338. Brittany Baneck is tossing a team-best 2.88 ERA from the circle for the season, but that mark is 3.86 in league play.
Series History
The Phoenix hold a 7-4 edge over the Mastodons in the all-time series. In the last eight meetings, the two teams have an even 4-4 split. The 'Dons won the last meeting, which came earlier this season in a non-league game, 2-1 in Bloomington, Indiana. Taylor Warne had a two-RBI double in the third inning.
League-Only Batters
Five Purdue Fort Wayne players are batting over .300 in Horizon League play: Brooke Wintlend (.375), Sonia Solis (.370), Taryn Jenkins (.350), Bailey Manos (.333) and Tori Countryman (.313).
Safe!
Taryn Jenkins had a streak of 25 games in a row that she reached base safely that ended last weekend. This was the longest streak for a Mastodon since 2013 when Larissa Franklin had a streak of 37 games.
And She's Fast Too!
Taryn Jenkins is the Horizon League leader with 20 stolen bases this season. That is a top-60 mark in the country.
And a Slugger!
Taryn Jenkins is in the top-100 in the country with 0.28 doubles per game, which is fourth in the Horizon League. Her .576 slugging percentage is in the top-300 in the country and is second-best in the HL.
Leading the League
Purdue Fort Wayne is leading the Horizon League with 1.63 stolen bases per game and a 2.16 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
oK Queen!
Alanah Jones is leading the Horizon League with 155 strikeouts this season. This mark is also top-35 nationally. Her 7.3 strikeouts per seven innings is also in the top-100 in the country.
Last Time Out
Northern Kentucky took three games from the Mastodons in a Horizon League series.
Next Time Up
The Mastodons will head to Oakland for the final Horizon League series of the regular season.
