Scouting the Dragons
In 2019, the Dragons were one of the top stories in Division II baseball after rallying from a 2-17 start to make the GMAC Championships as the seven-seed, going 4-0 to win the tournament and earn their first-ever NCAA Championships berth, and coming just one win away from reaching the DII Midwest Super Region final.
The Dragons are led by Kyle Vance who in a shortened covid season posted a .391 batting average, .420 OBP, and a .435 SLG, tallied 10 RBI, and 18 hits. Joining him are Zach Campbell who had a .538 batting percentage, .583 OBP, .435 SLG, eight RBI, 21 hits, one home run and three stolen bases.
Scouting the Timberwolves
Northwood is 3-0 this season with three wins over Indianapolis.
Rhett Evans leads the Timberwolves with a .308 batting average, .357 OBP and a .923 SLG, four RBI, four hits and two home runs, and teammate Jacob Rybicki has a .545 batting average, .615 OBP, a 1.091 SLG, six hits, four RBI, two home runs and one stolen base.
The Timberwolves lead the all-time series over the Dragons, 24-14.
Scouting the Eagles
The Ashland University baseball team will look to defend its 2019 Midwest Region crown with the start of the 2021 campaign looming with two games on Thursday (March 4) in North Carolina.
The Eagles have the left side of the infield stabilized by senior third baseman Garett Robberts and all-region junior shortstop Austin Eifrid, who batted a team-high .345 with nine stolen bases in 14 games last season.
The Eagles lead the all-time series against the Dragons 36-13-1.
Scouting the Griffins
The Griffins return a core of players this season including five players who started all thirteen games last season. The team also returns their top three starters from last season and a huge group of bullpen arms.
The Griffins lead the all-time series against the Dragons 4-0.
