Tigers End Historic Regular Season: Millington Next

The Tigers of Ouachita Baptist University finished off a historic regular season last Sunday with a bang.  Senior Day proved to be a celebration for more than one reason as the Tigers beat Christian Brothers University 11-1 to clinch their first-ever GSC West Division title. 

The Tigers (48-6, 18-3) are now ranked #4 in the CBN Top 30 and #2 in the NCBWA Top 25, as they head to Millington, TN for their second straight Gulf South Conference tournament.  They will enter as the #1 seed from the West Division and take on Valdosta State University on Saturday at 1 pm.  OBU is ranked #1 in the South Central Region for the third consecutive poll, and are closing in on their first-ever NCAA tournament birth.

This senior weekend was also sweet for one senior in particular, as outfielder David Fischer garnered his first-ever GSC Player of the Week honor.  Fischer went 8-12 on the weekend with hits in 8 consecutive at-bats, and reached base on 12 straight plate appearances.  He was the 6th award winner this season for the Tigers, and brought his season line up to  .364 batting average, with 71 hits, 10 doubles, 3 home runs, 34 RBI, 56 runs, 31 walks and 14 stolen bases.
