LAST TIME OUT

Rountree hit .500 over two games with a pair of RBI, while Quincy Hamilton hit .400 with a double of his own while driving in one run. Damon Dues had two RBI while hitting .333 and McConnell had a .300 average with an RBI and his three doubles.

PLAYING TOUGH
Seven of Wright State's 10 games this season have been against nationally ranked opponents – then-No. 6 Mississippi State in a three-game series to open the season, then-No. 1 Louisville in midweek action and then-No. 20 Auburn in a weekend series.

ROAD TRIP
Wright State begins the 2020 season with its first 14 contests on the road, a common theme for teams from the northern states. The Raiders will travel to take on three SEC foes in weekend series (Mississippi State, Auburn, Tennessee), play a midweek contest with Louisville out of the ACC, and travel to play at Western Kentucky, along with a short trip to take on in-state foe Miami (OH), before its first scheduled home game on March 10.

The Raiders were 14-10 on the road last season, playing their first eight games on the road and tallying a 4-4 mark in that first swing – including wins at then-No. 9 East Carolina, then-No. 10 Ole Miss and then-No. 19 Oklahoma State.
