Quick Hits:
-The LMU baseball program will host its third-annual Vs. Cancer game, which is dedicated to raising money and awareness in support of pediatric cancer victims and research. In 2013 and 2014, the Railsplitters combined to donate more than $12,000 to the Vs. Cancer Foundation. This season, Lincoln Memorial has already exceeded its goal of raising $8,000. Physical donations will be collected throughout Wednesday's contest, while online contributions can be made here. Following the game, LMU players and members of the coaching staff will shave their heads as a public show of support for childhood cancer victims.
-The Railsplitters will be looking to rebound after dropping two of three games to Lenoir-Rhyne on Sunday and Monday at Lamar Hennon Field. Lincoln Memorial, which is 3-7 over its last 10 games, split with the Bears on Sunday, bouncing back from an 8-5 loss in game one with an 11-2 win in game two. Ethan Elliott (Knoxville, Tenn.) threw his second straight complete game to improve to 8-1 on the season, while Russell Clark (Wexford, Pa.) hit a grand slam to power that victory. In the rubber game of the series, the Railsplitters nearly rallied from a 6-0 deficit, but stranded nine runners on base, including the bases loaded in the ninth, to fall a bit short in a 6-5 loss.
-The Railsplitters have been hit hard by the injury bug, but freshman designated hitter Peyton Sawyer (Knoxville, Tenn.) has stepped up and helped keep LMU's offense afloat. Sawyer, who is hitting .364 this season, went 3 for 5 in game three against L-R, recording his third multi-hit game in his last five appearances. The Knoxville, Tennessee native has a pair of doubles and nine RBI over that span.
-Lincoln Memorial is 14-7 in nonconference play this season. The Railsplitters have also been a substantially better offensive unit at home. In 22 games at Lamar Hennon Field, Lincoln Memorial is batting .356 and slugging .581 with 61 doubles and 29 home runs. That is compared to a .267 batting average, a .360 slugging percentage, 26 doubles and eight home runs in 17 road games.
 
Notes on the Trojans:
-Wednesday marks the return of longtime LMU assistant coach Ryan Schmalz, who is in his fourth season at the helm of the Trevecca baseball program after serving as Jeff Sziksai's assistant for seven seasons at Lincoln Memorial. In his four seasons leading the Trojans, Schmalz has accumulated a 133-68 record while leading his team to three consecutive Great Midwest Athletic Conference (GMAC) championships. He was selected as the GMAC Coach of the Year in 2013.
-After slipping to 8-12 on the season with a loss at Lee on March 22, the Trojans have turned their season around by winning 12 of their last 14 games. Trevecca most recently took three of four games from Salem International last weekend, winning game one 10-0, game three 4-1 and game four 12-2. The Trojans are 11-1 in GMAC play, but just 9-13 in nonconference action.
-Trevecca is led offensively by the trio of Tyler Tichenor, Bryson Shelton and Micah Blount. Tichenor is hitting .368 this season with a team-leading 46 hits, which includes three doubles, one triple and a home run. He also leads the team with 19 stolen bases. Shelton is batting .352 with eight doubles and a home run, while Blount leads the team in home runs (10) and RBI (29). Ethan Harrison (.346, 5 2B, 8 RBI) and Zach Tompkins (.346, 6 2B, 2 HR) are also players to watch for the Trojans.
-TNU is sporting a 4.11 earned run average as a team. Jesse Peters is a potential starter for the Trojans, as he is 2-2 this season with a 4.09 ERA and 38 strikeouts in 33 innings of work.
