LUBBOCK CHRISTIAN
The Chaps are guided by 16th year head coach Nathan Blackwood who has led LCU to an overall record of 653-263 with a pair of Heartland Conference Championships since joining the league.

LCU is led offensively by Hill Alexander who is hitting .419 on the season with 14 doubles, three triples and 12 homeruns to drive in 50 RBI with 123 total bases for a slugging percentage of .769 as he has started all 41 games so far this season for the Chaps. 
 
On the mound, Chandler Casey is expected to take the ball on Tuesday night as the senior righty from Lubbock is 6-4 on the season with a 2.76 ERA as he has allowed 22 runs (20 earned) on 56 hits with 13 walks and 70 strikeouts in his 65.1 innings of work for an opposing batting average of .232.
