AT THE PLATE

LAST TIME OUT
The diamond Panthers earned a 4-1 record on the week, which included a three-game weekend sweep of Seton Hall. In midweek action, Wednesday night's win over Florida A&M gave Head Coach Mervyl Melendez his 600th career win. Logan Allen was masterful in Friday night's win against Seton Hall, going seven scoreless innings while only allowing one hit and striking out 11 Pirates. Allen's performance him C-USA Pitcher of the Week and Collegiate Baseball National Player of the Week honors.
