About the Warhawks
AUM (13-12, 6-6 GSC) heads into the week looking to snap a three-game losing skid. The Warhawks picked up their lone win of their four-game road trip in Eastern Florida last week with a 7-2 victory at Flagler College on Wednesday, March 13.  
 
Jonathan Brandt leads a group of four Warhawk hitters batting above .300 on the year, with a .337 batting average. Zach Feaster (.328), Dalton Cobb (.322) and Matthew Zielonko (.301) all also sport a plus-300 average. 
 
Zielonko leads the Warhawk offense with 22 runs driven in, while also leading the Orange and Black with seven multi-RBI games in 2019. Zielonko leads AUM with three three-hit ballgames, while Quinterrious Arrington, Dalton Cobb and Brandt have all posted a team-high eight multi-hit games on the season. 
 
Arrington unofficially leads the GSC with 19 stolen bases, while also unofficially ranking second in the conference with 20 walks. The junior outfielder leads the Warhawks with 22 runs scored, a .448 on-base clip, and has reached base in his last 18 consecutive games. 
 
Troy Jones has compiled a season-high 36.1 innings for the AUM staff, while also having struck out a team-high 36 batters. The junior right-hander holds an ERA of 3.72 through seven starts. 
 
Todd Burkett has posted a team-high 11 appearances for the Warhawks on the mound, to go along with a GSC-best four saves, a 2.21 ERA, and an opponent's batting average of .153. Keegan Fairley (0.69) and Josh Flowers (1.86) both boast a sub-two ERA, with each having appeared in at least four outings for the Warhawks on the season. 
 
AUM holds an all-time advantage of 35-28 over Georgia Southwestern, while the Warhawk's series with Mississippi College will serve as the first three meeting's between the two schools.
