•  Yucaipa, Calif. native and Tarleton second baseman Jordan Andrade has reached base in the last 17 games he has started. Andrade totaled two hits in Tarleton's loss to TCU on April 4 and finished with a hit and RBI in the win over UCR Wednesday.
•   Dylan Delvecchio and Piercen McElyea have been re-inserted into the Texans weekend pitching rotation as the Texans look for some consistency from their starting pitching. The only pitcher that has started a game each weekend for Tarleton is RHP Friday starter Hunter Day. Delvecchio, a San Marcos, Calif. native has seven starts this season while McElyea has just one as he has been featured primarily out of the bullpen.
