Brevard Hosts Maryville in Weekend Series

BREVARD, N.C.- Brevard will look to get back on the right track against Maryville at Gil Coan Field in a three-game series this weekend, with the first game set to begin at noon on Saturday.

On the mound for Brevard, senior right hander Drake Black continues to lead the team in innings pitched (30.2), strikeouts (30) and has the lowest ERA (5.28) of all the Tornado pitchers that have thrown at least six innings this season.

Maryville (10-2) heads into the weekend winners of three of their last five games, with their most recent outing resulting in a 4-3 walk-off win over Spalding on Feb. 27. On the season, the Scots have six players with at least 12 hits, led by senior Patrick Messinger, who is first on the team in hits (15) and batting average (.405).
