The Tornados most recently played in a home-and-home series against Mars Hill University, hosting the Lions for a doubleheader last Saturday before a road contest on Sunday. 

In the series finale in Mars Hill, BC freshman outfielder Logan Clark led all hitters with a four-hit performance, going 4-for-5 with an RBI-triple, two RBI's, and a run scored. Clark now has four triples hit through his first 11 collegiate games, a mark that is tied for the national lead as of March 23. 

Zach Allison and Jason Jucker also enjoyed multi-hit performances for the Tornados, with Jucker tallying a 3-for-6 day at the dish while Allison posted a 2-for-5 performance. Senior outfielder Beau Shealy came across to score twice for the Tornados in the series finale.

Allison currently leads all Tornado hitters with a .375 batting average, while senior JJ Wilkes has nine RBI's so far in 2021. 

Greensboro's Michael Garvey Jr. leads all Pride hitters with a .389 average with 14 hits on the season. 

Following Wednesday's doubleheader, the Tornados will prepare for a Saturday twin bill at Pfeiffer University, with action beginning at 3 p.m. in Misenheimer, North Carolina.
