ULM Short Hops

-UL-Lafayette claimed two of three games against ULM at Warhawk Field March 16-18 to open Sun Belt Conference play.

-ULM battled through 44 combined minutes of weather delays Saturday night, downing Troy 4-3 in 10 innings to salvage game three of the weekend series.

-Chris Dudley roped a one-out, two-run double down the left field line in the top of the 10th inning following a 34-minute lightning delay. Judd Edwards led off the inning with a double to the left center field gap, and Taylor Abdalla reached on a throwing error trying to sacrifice bunt Edwards to second.

-Dudley's hit was the second late inning double to secure a ULM victory in as many weeks. Justin Stawychny cleared the bases with a three-run walk-off two-bagger against UALR May 5.

-ULM has won three of its last four Sun Belt Conference series, downing Middle Tennessee, Western Kentucky and UALR during that span. The Warhawks have also won five of their last six series finales, dating back to a 10-1 win at Arkansas State April 8.

-Caleb Clowers is in the midst of a 24-game on-base streak, the longest current streak among ULM hitters. The senior second baseman batted .349 (37-for-106) with 13 RBIs, six doubles, three stolen bases and 18 runs scored in his last 24 starts. Clowers surpassed the career 200-hit plateau at Troy Saturday.

-Jeremy Sy ranks first among all players in batting average in Sun Belt Conference play (.398), and is the league leader with 43 hits, 68 total bases, a .504 on-base percentage, a .630 slugging percentage and 31 runs scored. Sy is also the leader in walks (22) and is tied for third in triples (3) through 27 conference starts.

-ULM is ranked 38th in average attendance and 42nd in total attendance nationally after completing its 26th and final home date against McNeese State Tuesday. Warhawk Field saw a program-record 41,727 people pass through its gates in 2012, and a season-high 2,433 fans were on hand for the March 17 contest against UL-Lafayette.
