RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. – For the first time this season, the Arkansas Tech baseball team is set to play a mid-week game and it will come on the road against a familiar foe in Henderson State. Tuesday night's game will be a non-conference between the two otherwise Great American Conference rivals.
 
The Wonder Boys will be coming into the game 12-6 overall and riding a three-game winning streak after sweeping their weekend series at Southern Nazarene. The Reddies will enter play 9-7 overall and are coming off a weekend series on the road at Northwestern Oklahoma in which they won the middle game.
 
While not having yet played a conference series against one another, this will not be the first time that the Wonder Boys and Reddies will have played one another this season. The two met back in mid-February in Arkadelphia in what turned out to be an 8-5 win for Henderson State, thanks to a go-ahead grand slam in the bottom of the eighth inning.
 
For the Wonder Boys, they enter the mid-week game with a .328 team batting average (202-for-616) and have seven batters from their everyday lineup over the .300 mark. To go along with the batting average, the Wonder Boys also have a team on-base percentage of .403 and a slugging percentage of .502 thanks to 44 doubles, six triples and 17 home runs.
 
The leading hitter for the Wonder Boys in terms of average is Josh Detwiler at .386 (22-for-57). Detweiler also leads the team in home runs with five, is tied for the team-lead in doubles with six and is second on the team in RBIs with 18.
 
Given that this will be Tech's first mid-week game of the year, the Wonder Boys will likely have someone from their pitching staff make their first start of the season as the weekend rotation of Patrick Miner, Hayes Coz and Riyan Rodriguez have accounted for all 18 of the team's starts thus far.
 
For the Reddies, they are hitting .294 as a team (152-for-517) and have three lineup regulars over the .300 mark. Daniel Colastano currently leads the team in batting average at .382 (13-for-34). The top two power hitters for the Reddies are Greyson Stevens and Joe Meyers. The two have combined for nine home runs and 39 RBIs. Stevens leads the team in home runs with five, while Meyers is pacing the team in RBIs with 21.
 
On the mound, the Reddies have a 4.99 team ERA and have registered 110 strikeouts in 126.1 innings of work. The Reddies have played just one mid-week game and Trevor Gracey got the start. He would pitch 3.0 innings against cross-town rival Ouachita and struckout three. Ethan Perry would be the first in relief and earned the win.
