WEATHERFORD, Okla. – Bulldog Baseball comes back home this weekend to host a three-game Great American Conference series at the SWOSU Athletic Complex against Oklahoma Baptist. The teams will take the field on Friday to play a single game starting at 2:00 pm and finish out the series on Saturday with a doubleheader beginning at 12:00 pm.
 
The Dawgs are on fire and hope to stay that way, as they enter this weekend winners of five of their last six games. Having momentum is going to be huge for the Dawgs as they look to stay ahead of Oklahoma Baptist in the conference standings.
 
Heading into the series SWOSU sits 19-16 on the year and one game ahead of OBU at 11-10 in GAC play. Oklahoma Baptist has a 18-15 overall record and a 10-11 league mark. 

The Bison rank third in the GAC in batting average at .316 collectively and are led by Kade Self (.384) and Dan Pruitt (.350) who have hit a combined 21 home runs. Meanwhile, they are sixth in team ERA at 6.52. 
 
The SWOSU offense set all kinds of records last weekend in Bethany, tallying a new GAC record 30 runs against Southern Nazarene. Every batter in the Dawgs lineup had at least one hit and one RBI, and eight of the nine batters had at least two hits, totaling to tie a conference record with 26 in the game.
 
During the last six games, SWOSU has batted .425 as a team and produced 85 runs on 102 hits and hit 14 home runs.
 
Emilio Trevino was recently named GAC Player of The Week for his contributions offensively, becoming the first Bulldog this season to earn the weekly honor. He currently has an eight game hitting streak which includes five games during that span where he had multiple hits. He has homered in four of the last six games.
 
The Dawg pitching staff had a few new names contribute last weekend at SNU and would benefit from continued consistency from all three. Making his fourth start, Ernesto Hidrogo threw a season best 7.0 innings last Saturday and moved to 3-1 on the year. Wyatt Sharry and Logan Lagasse both made two appearances last week and in seven combined innings of relief, allowed just one run combined.
 
The bullpen shined in Tuesday's midweek matchup against OPSU. Phillip Sanders (W, 3-1) took the mound for SWOSU and threw three scoreless innings to earn the win. Grant Ewy and Jackson Phillips both threw scoreless innings as well.
 
When the SWOSU and OBU met up last season in Shawnee, the Dawgs were swept in the series by scores of 4-7, 6-18, and 7-11.
