SCOUTING BLOOMSBURG
The Huskies had a big weekend, sweeping a four-game series against Lock Haven, to improve to 18-10 overall and 7-5 in the PSAC East. Bloomsburg has won six straight games and has moved into a tie for second place, with East Stroudsburg, in the Eastern Division standings. The Huskies are batting .322 as a team, which has them fifth in the PSAC. Austin Edgette (Exton, Pa./Downingtown East) had his 16-game hitting streak snapped in game two on Saturday, but still leads the team with a .434 batting average (43-of-99) - fifth in the conference. He leads the team in hits (43), on-base percentage (.504), and stolen bases (9). Tyler Benson (Montville, N.J./Montville Township) is batting .388 (40-of-103) and leads the team in runs scored (40), triples (2), and walks (15). Joey Casselberry (Eagleville, Pa./Methacton), Damin Muth (Breinigsville, Pa./Parkland), and Ryan Kirman (Little Silver, N.J./Red Bank Regional) have been the thunder in the middle of the lineup as they have combined to hit 26 of the team's 34 home runs. Kirman leads the team, and the PSAC, with 14 home runs (fifth in the country). He hit three more last weekend to tie him for the single-season school record for homers (Matt Karchner, 1989). Casselberry is tied for the PSAC lead with 39 RBI while Muth has hit a career-high seven home runs and driven in a career-best 31 runs this season. On the mound, the Huskies have a 5.08 ERA - sixth in the PSAC. Zach Newmyer (New Cumberland, Pa./Red Land) has appeared in seven games (three starts) and is 3-2 with a 3.49 ERA.
