SCOUTING THE BRUINS
Belmont (2-3) enters this week's series at Doak Field at Dail Park with a pair of victories over UT-Martin. The Bruins dropped the first two games in the four-game opening weekend series, losing both games of a Saturday doubleheader. Belmont returned the favor a day later with a doubleheader sweep of the Skyhawks. The Bruins then dropped their first midweek game of the season Tuesday in a 9-7 defeat to the WKU Hilltoppers. The Bruins had an excellent 2022 season behind longtime head coach Dave Jarvis, finishing with a 39-20 record and a 5-4 loss in the Ohio Valley Championship game. Junior Mason Landers leads Belmont at the plate with three home runs, seven RBI, 17 total bases and a .944 slugging percentage.
