WATCH TO WATCH FOR
Harding is looking to snap a six-game skid and will send senior right-hander Jacob Stripling to the mound for his first start of the season. Stripling has made 11 appearances out of the bullpen.

Union, a member of the NCAA II Gulf South Conference located in Jackson, Tennessee, has lost six of its last eight after reeling off its second five-game winning streak of the season. The Bulldogs are eighth of 11 teams in the GSC in scoring (5.7 runs per game) and ERA (4.78).

Harding senior outfielder Zac Stewart has had two or more hits in eight of his last nine games and has had multiple hits in 15 of Harding's 27 games. Stewart leads the Great American Conference with 42 hits and is second in batting average (.382) and doubles (10).

Zach Wylie, a junior from Collierville, Tennessee, is one of the top hitters for the Bulldogs. He is hitting .316 with two home runs and 20 RBIs.
