ROLLA, Mo. - The S&T baseball team returns to the S&T Ballpark for a four-game series with Hillsdale College, which is scheduled to start Saturday with a single game at 1 p.m. The Miners and Chargers will meet up in a doubleheader Sunday beginning at noon and will play the series finale on Monday at 1 p.m.

The Miners (4-3) enter this weekend's set coming off a three-game series win against Alabama Huntsville, where S&T won the first and third games of the series before the scheduled series finale was canceled due to rain. 

Through seven games, Dakota Sill (Lansing, KS/Lansing) leads S&T in batting with a .500 batting average that includes 12 hits, 11 runs and 21 total bases. Sill has also recorded a team-high six stolen bases and has an on-base percentage of .571. Chase Burgess (Overland Park, KS/Blue Valley West) is second in batting with an average of .423 that includes 11 hits, 10 runs, and 16 total bases; he also leads the team with three doubles while Doug Wood (Liberty, MO/Liberty North) leads S&T with 11 runs batted in. 

On the mound, S&T has received solid showing thus far from Ethan Morrow (Lenexa, KS/Shawnee Mission West) as he has pitched a team-high 10 innings and recorded 12 strikeouts, giving up only six hits in that span and holding opponents to a .188 batting average. Dylan Mollett (St. Louis, MO/Oakville) has pitched 8.1 innings and struck out seven batters in two starts and picked up his first win of the season against UAH in the opening game of the series. 

In the Alabama-Huntsville series, the S&T bullpen used five different pitchers out of relief and those pitchers gave up only one run and allowed just three hits.

The Chargers (5-4) enter this series on a two-game losing streak as Wayne State (Mich.) won the final two games of the three-game set to take the series last weekend.  Hillsdale won the first game 11-0 before dropping the final two games of the series by scores of 5-2 and 10-7. 

This season, the Chargers are led in batting by Jeff Landis and Lewis Beals as each player has recorded 11 hits; Beals leads the team with 11 runs batted in. 

On the mound, Will Gifford leads the team with 15.2 innings pitched and has given up 18 hits and allowed nine earned runs. Another top arm for the Chargers is Tommy MacLean, who has given up 15 hits and has struck out 13 batters in three starts.
