MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee will honor nine senior players and two managers this weekend on Senior Day (Saturday) against LA Tech at Reese Smith Jr. Field.
2017 Senior Class: Riley Delgado, Will Jackson, Brad Jarreau, Kaleb King, David Lairamore (manager), Kyle McBee (manager), Cody Puckett, Austin Sistrunk, Will Small, Caleb Smith, Chaz Vesser.
Thursday's game will account for the 17th time the two programs have met. The Bulldogs took care of the Blue Raiders in Ruston last season with a series sweep. LT leads the overall series 9-7.
The MT lineup continues to be a force with six of the nine starters batting .301 or better. The Blue Raiders rank 13th in the nation with 571 hits (2nd in C-USA) on the season and 50th in the country in scoring with 6.7 runs per game.
Slugger Ryan Kemp continues his impressive first-year campaign. The JUCO transfer is tops on the team (6th in C-USA) with a .370 batting average. He is also second on the team with a .623 slugging percentage.
Several Blue Raiders rank atop the conference in different offensive categories. Senior shortstop Riley Delgado is 4th with 76 hits, designated hitter Aaron Aucker is 3rd in slugging percentage at .639. Austin Dennis ranks 4th in stolen bases (13).
Middle Tennessee has been solid defensively as well, ranking 66th in the country with a .974 fielding percentage.
The MT rotation will include RHP Carson Lester, LHP Jake Wyrick and LHP Cody Puckett.
LA Tech is one of the hottest teams in the country, winning 10 of its last 11 C-USA games. The Bulldogs currently sit T-3rd in C-USA and have clinched a spot in the conference tournament.
The Bulldogs come into the weekend after a sweep of Marshall. LT is led by potential C-USA pitcher of the year, Nate Harris. Harris sports a perfect 8-0 record, to go along with an outstanding 1.65 ERA.
