Panthers Host Purdue North Central Tuesday
Head coach Kevin Tidey has announced he has added a doubleheader to his schedule with Purdue University North Central coming to the Farmers Athletic Complex Tuesday at 2 p.m.
 
A Quick Look at Lourdes
The Gray Wolves are still in search for win No. 1 after four attempts. They opened their season with a pair of losses to 23rd-ranked Georgetown (Ky.) Monday and fell 24 hours later to Pikeville in a doubleheader. Andy Kefalos has made the most visits to the plate and is 5-for-12 (.417) with four doubles. He and Cody Fallwell have reached home safely three times. Head Coach Andy Ham has turned to a committee on the mound, having signaled for 10 different pitchers out of the bullpen. Frank Shaffer threw 5 1/3 innings in his only start, allowing one run, four hits and three walks while striking out one.
 
The Last Time vs. Lourdes
Davenport swept the four-game WHAC series over Lourdes at the Farmers Athletic Complex last year. Cam Cooper led the way in the series with a .643 (9-for-14) batting average. He, along with EJ Grochwalski, drove in three runs in the series as well and successfully stole all five bags. Corey Sessions was roughed up a bit in his outing but was credited a win. He went six innings allowing five runs, two earned, on seven hits including three doubles. Ryan Butzer came out of the bullpen twice and was credited one save. He surrendered one hit in four innings of work.
