COMING UP CLUTCH
Concord got back above .500 on the season as it defeated Emory & Henry 8-7 Tuesday afternoon in a non-conference game. CU's third-straight win came on a walk-off single from freshman catcher
Marshall Basham. The Christiansburg, Virginia native notched a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the ninth to lift Concord to the win. Basham has three multi-hit games in his last four contests and has boosted his average to .299 for the season. But with runners in scoring position, Basham is hitting .333 (9-for-27). Among hitters with at least 20 at-bats with runners in scoring position, senior infielder
Chris Satcher leads CU with a .432 average (19-for-44). Fifth-year senior infielder
Zack Saryeldin is batting .393 (11-for-28) with RISP. As a team, the Mountain Lions hit .339 this season when there's an RBI opportunity.
