Rain Cancels Saturday Doubleheader; Rescheduled for Sunday

CLEVELAND, Miss. -- Heavy rain on Friday has forced the cancellation of Saturday’s baseball doubleheader between the University of West Alabama and Delta State. The two teams will renew their series on Sunday with a twinbill at Dave “Boo” Ferriss Field. Audio from the games can be found at athletics.uwa.edu, starting at 11:45 a.m.

UWA is 32-74 against the Statesmen, but the Tigers have held their own in the last 10 meetings, drawing a 5-5 split. DSU picked a 9-7 win in the last meeting, closing the Tigers season in the 2008 NCAA South Central Regional in Cleveland, Miss. UWA eyes its first win at Dave “Boo” Ferriss since Feb. 28, 2004; a 10-9 victory for the Tigers.

Rob Dahlberg leads the way at the plate for UWA. The Gilbertown, Ala.-native is batting .525 on the year, which is tops in the GSC. The senior is second on the team in RBI with 14 and third in hits with 21.

Mike Schmitt paces the UWA pitching staff with a 3-1 record and 3.08 ERA. The Cheyenne, Wyo.-product suffered his first loss of the season last weekend in a 5-3 defeat to Ouachita Baptist. On the season, the senior has tossed a team-leading 26 1/3 innings while allowing nine runs on 23 hits with 13 strikeouts and holding opponent batters to a .228 batting average.

Kellen Bozeman pilots the Statesmen offensive attack with a .392 batting average. Bozeman leads the team with 17 RBI, 20 hits and four homeruns. Korey Cunningham is the ace of the staff for the Green and White with a team-leading 23 2/3 innings pitched. Cunningham is 1-1 in four appearances on the hill for the Statesmen with a 3.04 ERA and team best 20 strikeouts.
