Scouting The Statesmen

• Delta State will enter this week with a 16-5 overall record and a 10-2 record in GSC play after completing a three-game sweep against Christian Brothers this past weekend in Memphis.
• At the plate the Statesmen have got solid production from the middle of the order as senior right fielder Brett Burrell leads all hitters with a .462 batting average and 25 runs driven in so far this season. Burrell and fellow senior Dylan Coleman drove in 10 runs in last weekends series against CBU. Coleman hit three home runs in Saturday's 14-2 win over the Buccaneers.
• In mid-week contests, the Statesmen have got solid production out of freshman right-hander Aidan McCrady.
