By:David Schneider
Kevin Tatum (BT '13-14) lines a hit for Cornell Big Red

The ninth installment of our College Round Up for the 2015 baseball season is a good one.  Several Big Train players are on hitting streaks and others are producing with additional playing time.

UNCW catcher, Nick Feight (BT ’14-15), now has six base hits in 20 at bats, including two doubles and a home run.

Kevin Tatum (BT ’13-14) out of Cornell is leading the team with 23 RBI on the season, while starting every game for the Big Red.  He has also posted a team leading .350 batting average.

Andrew Witczak (BT ’15) had another good outing for Campbell.  In six innings, Witczak allowed no earned runs.

Maryland has a host of Big Train players who are performing well.  Zach Morris (BT ’13) earned his third win of the season this week.  On the season he has a 1.93 ERA in 18.2 innings of work.  Brandon Lowe (BT ’14) has continued his great season from the plate posting an eye-popping slash line of .377/.497/.692 (Batting Average/On-base Percentage/Slugging Percentage).  Freshman, Jack Piekos (BT ’15), has pitched 1.2 innings of zero earned run baseball.

Sacramento State’s Chris Lewis (BT ’14-15) and Brandon Hunley (BT ’15) hit very well form the plate this week.  Lewis accounted for seven RBI including two home runs and a triple.  Hunley added a two-RBI game himself.

Starting the majority of the games at catcher for Cal State Northridge, Albee Weiss (BT ’14) went 1-1 with a three-run home run in his last game.

Brandon Gum (BT ’12, ’15) has posted the longest hitting streak of the season for any Big Train player.  Currently on a 12 game streak, Gum is batting .349 on the season.  Tyler Tobin (BT ’15) has gone three straight outings in relief without giving up a run.

Matt Toscano (BT ’15) out of St. Mary’s College (CA) had a three hit, three RBI game in his last appearance as a leadoff hitter for the Gaels.  In the same game, Drew Strotman (BT ’15) earned his first win of out of the bullpen.

At Mississippi State, Cody Brown (BT ’14-15) is on an eight game hitting streak that includes four multi-hit games.  His average is up to .339 on the year.   In the Bulldogs last game, Wes Rea (BT ’14) logged three hits including a home run.

Pitcher, Michael Boyle (BT ’13), has posted very impressive numbers on the mound for Radford this year.  He is 6-2 with a 2.21 ERA, averaging a strikeout per inning in the starter role.

Florida Atlantic has seen a very consistent approach at the plate from Ricky Santiago (BT ’13) who has posted a .353/.425/.526 slash line for the Owls.  David McKay (BT ’15) has hit the 10-strikeout threshold in 10.1 innings of work, while allowing a meager two earned runs.  Mark Nowatnick (BT ’15) has allowed three hits and no walks in 4.2 innings of work this season.
