Blogger has been giving me some problems the last few days so this On Deck feature is going to be short.

What to Watch For
The top hitters for the Lions are Jonathan Pace (.354/1/36), Brock Hebert (.341/2/28), and Justin Boudreaux (.333/8/43).  The Lumberjacks top pitchers are Zack Taylor (2.74, 4-2), Jared West (2.98, 6-3), and Tyler Herriage (5.55, 2-5).  Jason West leads the way out of the bullpen with 7 saves.

The Lions top pitchers are Josh Janway (3.02, 5-2), Tyler Watkins (3.13, 7-3), and Brandon Efferson (3.46, 8-3).  In the bullpen Jason Greenleaf (2.27) is 3-2 and recorded 2 saves.  Closer Stefan Lopez (2.78, 9 Saves) has 40 Ks in 30.1 innings pitched.

Last Time They Played - Last season in Nacogdoches, TX the Lions swept SFA winning Friday 7-1, Saturday 10-6, and Sunday 14-7.  In 2010 when they met in Hammond the Jacks won Friday 6-4 but the Lions came back and won on Saturday 11-10 and on Sunday 12-5 to win the series.
