TEAM NOTES:Β
β’ Wounded Dawgs: The Huskies have been forced to patch together a lineup each game due to a multitude of injuries that have ravaged the roster. The following is a list of key players that have missed games, their injury and number of games missed: Willie MacIver (20 gms, broken hamate bone*), Josh Burgmann (20 gms, TJ surgery recovery*), AJ Graffanino (11 gms, hamstring*), Joe DeMers (1 1/2 starts, hamstring), Mason Cerrillo (3 gms, dislocated finger/shoulder*), Jonathan Schiffer (3 gms, back*), Braiden Ward (2 gms, wrist*) and Levi Jordan (1 game, ankle). Β * = ongoing ailment
β’ Making The Grade: Monday was the start of Spring Quarter for UW students. The Husky Baseball team had another outstanding winter quarter combining for a 3.11 GPA. A total of 23 players had a GPA of 3.00 or higher, 10 made the Dean's List (3.5 or better) and Adam Davenport posted a perfect 4.0 GPA.
β’ Late Game Success: The Huskies are 10-0 when they lead or are tied after 8 innings. They are 4-0 when tied after 8 innings and 4-0 in extra-inning games.Β
β’ 4-2 In Pac-12 Play: The Huskies have started Pac-12 play 4-2 in each of the last three seasons.Β
β’ Taking No. 1 Head On: The Huskies handed No. 1 Oregon State it's second loss of the year and have handed the Beavers, who are 76-8 since 2017, two losses during that span. The only other team to beat them twice in that stretch is LSU.Β
β’ Error Note: UW has committed 27 errors in 21 games this season. In 2017, they led the Pac-12 and ranked 3rd nationally in fielding pct (.982) and committed 36 errors over a span of 54 games.
INDIVIDUAL NOTES:Β
β’ Joe DeMers ranks fourth in the Pac-12 in ERA (1.39), T3rd in fewest earned runs allowed (5) and second in opponents average average against (.165). He is also second in the Pac-12 with a 0.77 WHIP, which ranks 13th nationally.
β’ DeMers is also nearing some UW career top-10 lists. His next start on the mound will be his 36th, which is tied for 10th most in UW history. If he stays healthy and remains a starter, he should jump into the top-five all-time. He also has 203.1 IP in his career and could break into the top-10 list eventually.
β’ Jordan Jones enters the weekend 25th nationally with a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 8.5, good enough for second among Pac-12 hurlers. He also is among Pac-12 leaders in the following pitching categories: innings pitched (T3, 39.0), strikeouts (T7, 34) and opposing batting avg (11th, .221).
β’ Several Huskies rank among leaders in pitching appearances. Alex Hardy's 14 games is tied for the league lead, while Leo Nierenberg and Stevie Emanuels are tied for 10th with 11.
β’ Mason Cerrillo ranks fifth among Pac-12 hitters with a .393 average and is 7th in on-base percentage (.469).
β’ Nick Kahle is tied for second in the Pac-12 with 8 doubles.Β
