Mercyhurst baseball is gearing up for a series with Pitt-Johnstown this weekend, playing four PSAC games with a road matchup on Friday, April 19th, followed by a home doubleheader on the next day.

By the Numbers
  • The Lakers hold the top spot in the PSAC West with a 14-14 overall record and an 11-5 record in the PSAC.
  • Mitchell Grosch leads the team in multiple categories with impressive stats including a BA of .424 and an OPS of 1.161.
  • The team has won 10 of their last 14 games, averaging 6.6 runs per game over that span.
  • UPJ enters the series with a 14-22 record and a struggling pitching staff, carrying an ERA of 6.22.
Yes, But

While the Lakers have been performing well offensively, UPJ's recent victory and the potential for an explosive weekend at the plate pose challenges.

State of Play
  • Mercyhurst leads the PSAC West, closely followed by several competitive teams.
  • The Lakers' strong offense, led by Grosch and Kourous, has been instrumental in their recent success.
What's Next

Mercyhurst will face Lake Erie in non-conference games next week before returning to PSAC play against California, Pa., and then hosting the same team for their senior day.

Bottom Line

With a solid position in the PSAC West, Mercyhurst baseball's strong offensive performance will be crucial in maintaining their lead and success in the upcoming games.
