FOUR OR MORE
When the offense is going strong, it's hard to beat the Tigers. UWA is 3-1 this season when scoring four or more runs with the only loss being the final game of last week's tournament to Florida Tech 6-5 won in walk off fashion by the Panthers.
 
HOMEPLATE QUEEN
From homecoming court to leading in the batter's box, Chrissy Tubbs is leading the team in batting at .333 and tied for the team lead with four RBIs and three stolen bases. She's one of two players (Hayes Fulford the other) with both a two hit game and a three hit game so far. Tubbs is the only player with more than one multi-RBI game and is currently on a two-game hit streak.
