The MT lineup continues to be a force with six of the nine starters batting .301 or better. The Blue Raiders rank 12th in the nation with 561 hits (2nd in C-USA) on the season and 50th in the country in scoring with 6.6 runs per game.

He is also second on the team (4th in C-USA) with a .640 slugging percentage. Kemp is currently on a 24-game reached base streak and 11-game hitting streak.
