Emory Baseball Looks to Keep Momentum in Two Mid-Week Games

Emory Baseball Looks to Keep Momentum in Two Mid-Week Games

The Emory University baseball team will try to build off a 2-1 road weekend, as the Eagles will play a pair of night games at North Georgia College and State University on Tuesday and Oglethorpe University on Wednesday.

Emory currently stands at 15-17 this season, after defeating Guilford College on Friday and splitting a two-game series with 26th-ranked Methodist University on Saturday and Sunday.  The Eagles are 4-6 in road games this season.

North Georgia, a NCAA Division II team, stands at 26-13, including a mark of 16-7 at home during the season.  The Saints are coming off a series loss this past weekend, after dropping two of three to Francis Marion University.  Emory is 6-9 all time against North Georgia, including a 6-3 win last season.  During the victory last year, Adam Genn, Connor McGuiness, Will Gumm, Brian Cournoyer and Zeb Heidt all pitched scoreless innings, and catcher Jeremy Bolian went two-for-two with two doubles and an RBI.  Tuesday’s game is scheduled for a 7:00 PM start.

Oglethorpe is 19-15 this season, including a 12-8 record at home.   The Stormy Petrels took two of three games from Centre College this past weekend, and will play at Huntingdon College on Tuesday before playing the Eagles.  This will be the third and final matchup this season between the two teams, with Oglethorpe having won the previous two games 13-8 and 6-5.  This season, Kevin O’Connor is three-for-six against Oglethorpe with three RBIs, while Brian Cournoyer has pitched four and a third scoreless innings against the Stormy Petrels.  Emory is 36-14 all time against Oglethorpe.  Wednesday’s game is scheduled for a 7:00 PM start.
