Logan Cerny has provided the power and extra base hits for the Trojans this season. Cerny has a team high four home runs and eight extra base hits.

Orlando Ortiz will continue his role as the Friday night starter for the Trojans. Ortiz lost his last start against Southeastern Louisiana. Ortiz pitched 4.3 innings and allowed seven runs, six were earned on 11 hits. Ortiz is 2-1 on the year with a 5.51 ERA. He has 21 strikeouts in just over 16 innings of work.

Garrett Gainous will pitch on Saturday before Bay Witcher closes the series on the mound on Sunday.
