The Pitt-Greensburg baseball team continues its Florida spring trip Tuesday morning as the Bobcats take on Stockton at the Chain of Lakes complex in Winter Haven. First pitch is scheduled for 9:30 a.m.
Pitt-Greensburg enters the matchup looking to bounce back after a tough loss Sunday against Albion. The Bobcats nearly completed a dramatic ninth-inning comeback in a high-scoring affair but ultimately fell just short, dropping a 12–11 decision in a game that turned into an offensive battle late.
Despite the early-season record, the Bobcats have shown signs of offensive production through their first seven games. Josh Preston has been a key contributor at the plate, leading the team with a .333 batting average. Hunter Gideons has also been productive, hitting .318 on the season and providing consistency in the middle of the lineup.
Stockton enters Tuesday's contest with a 1–2 record and momentum after opening its Florida trip with a convincing 12–3 victory over Juniata on Monday. The Ospreys' offense was explosive in that contest and will look to carry that momentum into their matchup with Pitt-Greensburg.
Liam Schwinn has been the early standout for Stockton, posting a .583 batting average through the team's first three games. His hot start has helped fuel the Ospreys' offense and will be a key focal point for the Bobcats' pitching staff.
