A Quick Look at Davenport (33-2, 17-0 WHAC)
The Panthers have not only working on extending the win streak, but it also has kept them in front of second-place Northwestern Ohio, which is only a half of a game behind. For the first time in its conference schedule, Davenport will play away from the friendly confines of the Farmers Insurance Athletic Complex. Aquinas and Marygrove were supposed to host the Panthers but have decided to use Davenport's ballpark as their home site. The Panthers recently are coming off a doubleheader sweep over the Saints Wednesday. Although they hit below their average against the Saints, the Panthers still lead the NAIA in batting (.374) and are second in slugging percentage (.544). The pitching staff also ranks second in the nation with a 2.01 ERA.
