A Quick Look at Davenport (40-6, 23-4 WHAC)The Panthers resume conference play after running away with an 11-3 win over Olivet Tuesday. But Davenport is looking to rebound after losing their first four-game series of the season to Northwestern Ohio last weekend. Despite the offensive struggles over the weekend, the Panthers still have the second best batting average (.362) in the NAIA.
Jonathan Cheshire also ranks in the top three among pitchers as he's only allowed six total runs in 48 2/3 innings of work.

A Quick Look at Siena Heights (18-23, 12-15 WHAC)Although they defeated crosstown rival Adrian 11-7 Tuesday, the Saints resume conference play after losing 3-of-4 to Indiana Tech. Siena Heights has never really had a momentum throughout the month of April as it has never won more than three straight games. Among the Saints offense, Zach Dunlop leads the team with a .378 batting average and 21 RBI. Brent Vaccaro has been the Saints ace on the mound this season, going 5-1 with a 2.47 ERA. He also has 40 strikeouts which is a commanding lead on the ballclub.
