LCU is hitting .305 as a team, with Hunter McFall leading the team in hitting (.382), McFall leads the team with 58 hits and 38 RBI. The Chaps have 27 home runs this season, with homers hit by 11 different individuals. LCU is hitting .327 in non-conference action, with Ethan Kohnle hitting .479 with 12 doubles and a .896 slugging mark in non-conference play. The Chaps pitching staff has an ERA of 5.32.

WT had won four straight games until losing the third game of a three-game series with Eastern New Mexico. They enter Tuesday 25-14 on the season and 11-2 at home. WT is hitting .275 on the season with Matt Cole leading the team hitting .342. They are a balanced hitting team, with eight players between 14-18 runs-batted-in on the season. On the mound, WT has a 3.16 ERA.

The meeting is the second meeting of the season and completes a home-and-home series. The prior meeting was last Tuesday in a game that saw a combined 41 runs scored, as LCU fell 21-17 in a four-hour marathon. Kohnle had two home runs in the loss (including a grand slam), but Josh Day produced a WT program record matching eight RBI, with six coming off a pair of three-run home runs. All-Time, LCU has won nine of the last 11 meetings and leads the all-time series 37-16 (dating back to 1971). LCU is 14-5 all-time in Canyon and they have won twice since their last loss there (Apr. 20, 2004).
