FIRST ROAD TRIP

The series will consist of two single games and a doubleheader beginning on Thursday, March 1 at 2:00 p.m. Live coverage will be available at the links listed above, but as always, you can follow the Urban Knights on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
 
KNOTABLE KNIGHTS
Senior catcher Marciano Reichel is team-leader with a .444 batting average. With just 18 at-bats to this point in the season, Reichel is tied for the team-lead with five runs batted in. On the pitching end, junior right-hander Ben Kaser has been the Urban Knights' star hurler thus far. Kaser leads the team 19.1 innings pitched and is touting the lowest earned run average on the team (0.93). Furthermore, he is one of just two pitchers with a complete game (in three starts) and he has racked up the second-most strikeouts (16).
 
EAGLES LOOKING FOR FIRST CONFERENCE VICTORY
Concordia enters the series with ART U with an 0-4 PacWest record as they were just swept by Azusa Pacific who is ranked No. 1 in the nation. When the Urban Knights hosted Concordia in 2017, both sides split the four-game series with two wins each. Haloa Dudoit has swung the Eagles biggest bat thus far, posting a .294 batting average in his 51 at-bats (14 starts). Davis Tominaga has been CUI's biggest run producer however, compiling a team-leading, 13 RBI off of four home runs and three doubles for 31 total bases. Cade Temple has been the Eagles' ace to this point, producing a 2.19 ERA in his two starts and is the only member of the pitching staff to have tossed a complete game.
